Taco bar hire in Thursley
Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. In Thursley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

About our taco bar hire in Thursley
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving. On the menu are warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for anniversary parties and christenings and family parties.
In a small place like Thursley, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

- Distance and access to the venue
- Food, drinks or both
- What the venue already provides
- The length of service
There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

- The date and time of the event
To get a price, just send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will suggest a menu to suit.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
On the menu in Thursley

- Vegan fillings

- Confirm any allergies to us by email
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
Tell us if you need plates and cutlery and we’ll confirm what’s possible in your quote.
