Taco bar hire for Walton-on-Thames events
Taco bar hire in Walton-on-Thames, served fresh
Our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. At family celebrations and garden parties, we can serve burrito bowls, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot and more.
In Walton-on-Thames, a taco bar can be set up inside a hall or club, with the venue’s agreement. We need space for the station, a way in from where we park and room for a queue. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Popular choices
Toppings
Pickled onions, coriander, lime, lettuce and cheese.
Vegan fillings
Spiced mushroom, or black bean and sweet potato, cooked separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
