Onslow Village: your questions answered
Could you serve in Broadstreet?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you come to events in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, our bookings typically fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Taco bar hire in Onslow Village, served fresh
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. On the menu are warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and fresh salsas, and it suits company parties and wedding breakfasts.
In a smaller place like Onslow Village, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Tell us where we can park and unload. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
On the menu in Onslow Village
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
For a meal that’s hands-on for guests but not for you, a taco bar suits events well. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
