We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Questions from Stanford Common
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Which station is closest to Stanford Common?
Brookwood station, about 1.6 miles north of the centre.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
