Taco bar hire in South Ambersham, from our food truck or trailer

Toppings make the bar: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, depending on the menu you choose. It works well for milestone birthdays and team lunches, with a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls.

Near South Ambersham, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

About the menu

Hot fillings

Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, perhaps chicken tinga, birria or carnitas.

Toppings

Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way.

What happens on the day

Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Winter evenings in South Ambersham close in by about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.

  1. Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
  2. We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
  3. We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
  4. On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
  5. When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.

Preparing for the day

  • Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
  • Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
  • Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for South Ambersham

How far is South Ambersham from central London?

Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.

Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like South Ambersham?

Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.

Do you provide drinks?

Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.

Do you cater in South Ambersham?

We do. South Ambersham is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Can we have a build-your-own 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.

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.

Which areas do you serve?

London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.

How long are you on site?

We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

How it compares

Next to a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
