Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

How our taco bar hire works in Ardleigh Green
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. We serve fresh salsas, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for family celebrations and engagement parties.
In a London neighbourhood like Ardleigh Green, a taco bar is handy when the truck cannot reach the garden or the room. Our staff set up a serving station on a table, and guests build their own tacos. We still need to park and unload close by, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension. Like all of Greater London, Ardleigh Green is inside the ULEZ. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How does taco bar hire work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Count children separately
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Set out seating near the bar
- Decide where the table goes before the day
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
