Taco bar hire for your event in Acton Vale
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too. We serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and burrito bowls, and it’s a good fit for wedding day food and summer garden parties.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Acton Vale have no vehicle access to the room. The station can go where the truck cannot, as long as the venue agrees, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
What’s on the menu
Guacamole
Guacamole goes quickly on a taco bar, so we keep it topped up.
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches so there is always one ready. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
Why choose taco bar hire in Acton Vale?
Guests on special diets don’t need a separate meal, since corn tortillas and vegan fillings sit with everything else.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Team socials
- Working lunches
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Family get-togethers
No room for the truck at home? A hall or club near Acton Vale with parking close by could host the taco bar.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Why book with us
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Book food, drinks or both
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Fast service, even with a queue

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need disposables
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
- What power and water the site has
- Diets and allergies you know about
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, use our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Details of power and water near the bar
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
Acton Vale 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.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Acton Vale
Is it possible to have you in Wormholt Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Is parking a problem for events in Acton Vale?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you come to Acton Vale?
We do. Acton Vale is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
