Taco bar hire in Send
About our taco bar hire in Send
Toppings make the bar: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema. On the menu are warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for evening wedding receptions and team socials.
In a smaller place like Send, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Let us know about the drive and parking. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Why choose taco bar hire in Send?
Next to a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Send: your questions answered
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St William of York?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
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). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
A build-your-own taco bar in Send
Send is about 3 miles south-east of Woking, in Surrey. Across the GU23 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. Send is one of 395 places in Surrey where we can bring taco bar hire.
By rail: Clandon station is about 2.2 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Clandon Park (2.9 miles south) and Hatchlands Park (3.4 miles south-east).

Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.

Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How it works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In Send, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
