Taco bar hire in Shillinglee
Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.

About our taco bar hire in Shillinglee
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. On the menu are burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas, which works well for engagement and anniversary parties and barn and marquee parties.
For a rural spot like Shillinglee, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Details of power and water near the bar
- A clear area in front of the station
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Tortilla chips

- Salsas and guacamole

Taco bar hire or something else?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- Menus chosen with you
- Book food, drinks or both
- Catering across Surrey, including Shillinglee
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
What happens on the day
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. From late May to late September, sunset in Shillinglee moves from about 8:50pm to 7:05pm. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Share a few details about the event.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
- We arrive, unload and lay out warm tortillas, fillings and toppings.
- Afterwards, we pack down and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Count children separately
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.

We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
