Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Surbiton: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Mark's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Could the taco bar go somewhere in Surbiton that the truck can’t reach?
Yes, with the venue’s agreement: our staff set up the station where your guests are. We still need to park and unload nearby, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, our bookings generally fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
How does taco bar hire work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests build their own tacos. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
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.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Make sure one filling is vegan
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- Details of power and water near the bar
Surbiton is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.

What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time.

- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
