How our taco bar hire works in Selsdon
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving, and nobody waits long. It suits team socials and engagement and anniversary parties, serving pickled onions and toppings, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
For a place the size of Selsdon, 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. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Selsdon? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.

- When final numbers are due
- Exactly what’s included in the price
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
How we price taco bar hire
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you need disposables
- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The length of 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.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- A picture of where we’d park
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Comparing your options
A standard buffet often sits out cold. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Selsdon
Which station is closest to Selsdon?
Guests can use Sanderstead station, about 1.7 miles west of Selsdon.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Littleheath Woods?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide 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.
How does taco bar hire work?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area.
