The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. In Puttenham, 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 usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

How our taco bar hire works in Puttenham
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It suits barn and marquee parties and working lunches, serving pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole.
Near Puttenham, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.

Why choose taco bar hire in Puttenham?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Puttenham
Do you cater 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.
Which station is closest to Puttenham?
Wanborough station, about 1.6 miles north of the centre.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, our bookings usually fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
