Taco bar hire for your event in Ockford Ridge
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. At anniversary parties and birthday celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas.
For a rural spot like Ockford Ridge, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

FAQs for Ockford Ridge
Could you serve in Rodborough Common?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What we need at the venue
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
How it compares
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. In Ockford Ridge, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
