Taco bar hire for Ridgewood events

About our taco bar hire in Ridgewood

Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese. For retirement parties and anniversary parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas.

For a place the size of Ridgewood, a garden or a hall nearby can suit a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Tell us where we can park and unload. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Our caterer checklist

Common questions in Ridgewood

Could you serve our guests after a service at St Saviour?

Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.

Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?

We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.

What about power on site?

It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

What guest numbers do you cater for?

Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the bar around them.

Do you give allergen information?

Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.

What areas do you cover?

London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Ridgewood.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.

What space does a taco bar need?

Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will confirm what’s needed. The venue’s agreement is needed too.

Space, access and the venue

Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • Easy access from where we unload to the table
  • The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
  • Details of power and water near the bar

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

Step by step

We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Winter evenings in Ridgewood close in by about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.

  1. Send us the date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we choose what goes on the bar.
  3. We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
  4. On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
  5. When everyone has eaten, we pack up.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Find out what power and water are available
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
