Taco bar hire for Shawford events

Taco bar hire in Shawford, from our truck or trailer

Our taco bar travels to events across Shawford and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. It suits barn parties and wedding meals, with a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas.

In a hamlet or village like Shawford, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

How far is Shawford from central London?

Is a taco bar right for a wedding?

It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue.

Does the taco bar need the truck on site?

The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.

What areas do you cover?

We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.

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 will confirm the arrangements with your quote.

How is the food prepared?

Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.

About the menu

Hot fillings

Fillings cooked ahead and kept hot, perhaps chicken tinga, birria or carnitas.

Vegan fillings

Vegan guests get a proper filling of their own, not an afterthought.

Diets, allergies and planning

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Flag any guest with coeliac disease
  • Fit the bar into your running order
  • Choose at least one vegan filling
  • Confirm a loading spot close to the bar

Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions.

Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.

How we price taco bar hire

We quote for your event, which reflects:

  • The menu you choose
  • How many guests we’re serving
  • Serving staff
  • Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

What we need to know

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • The address or venue name
  • A picture of where we’d park

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

For event organisers in Shawford

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.

We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. Winter evenings in Shawford close in by about 4:00pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
