Taco bar hire for South Merstham events
How our taco bar hire works in South Merstham
Fillings are agreed with you, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. Popular choices include fresh salsas, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits birthday parties and retirement parties.
A place like South Merstham may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Next to a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
