Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Taco bar hire in Ottershaw, served fresh
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. It works well for engagement parties and leaving dos, with guacamole, fresh salsas and burrito bowls.
A place like Ottershaw may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Where the truck can go in Ottershaw
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- A level area for the taco-bar table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Menu ideas
- Pickled onions and toppings

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

FAQs for Ottershaw
What’s the nearest station to Ottershaw for guests?
Guests can use Chertsey station, about 1.9 miles north-east of Ottershaw.
We are having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you come to Ottershaw?
Yes, we do. Ottershaw is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Ottershaw.
Popular choices
Hot fillings
A few fillings give guests plenty of choice, with at least one vegan. You choose them with us.
Guacamole
Guacamole goes quickly on a taco bar, so we keep it topped up.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up, then load our vehicle.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.

How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. In Ottershaw, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
