Hot fillings
A few fillings give guests plenty of choice. We agree them with you.
How the day works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Sandford-on-Thames until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
