About our taco bar hire in Ranmore Common
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We serve pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it is a good fit for family celebrations and team lunches.
For a rural spot like Ranmore Common, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Questions from Ranmore Common
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.
Will you travel to a small place like Ranmore Common?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
What do you need at the venue?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
