Taco bar hire in Oxted, from our truck or trailer
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. On the menu are slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas, which works well for birthday parties and wedding meals.
In a smaller place like Oxted, 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. Let us know about the drive and parking. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Why choose taco bar hire in Oxted?
Guests on special diets do not need a separate meal.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We’re happy to cater:
- Evening receptions
- Barn parties
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Working lunches
With the A25 nearby, getting the taco bar to Oxted is simple for us.

Taco bar hire or something else?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
Why us?
- A clear quote
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- A menu agreed with you
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Around midsummer it stays light in Oxted until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
How to get a price

FAQs for Oxted
Is Oxted close to London?
It’s about 18 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
We’re having a ceremony at St Agatha's Hall: 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.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
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’ll advise.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Choose at least one vegan filling
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
