Taco bar hire for your event in Patching
Truck and trailer bookings usually suit around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the taco bar to match. We serve pickled onions and toppings, guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for anniversary parties and team socials.
For a rural spot like Patching, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Common questions in Patching
Could you serve in Clapham Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
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 Patching.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.

Step by step
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. Around midsummer it stays light in Patching until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Count children separately
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
- Make sure one filling is vegan
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.

Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before you book.
