Taco bar hire for Arkley events
Taco bar hire for your event in Arkley
Our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the taco bar around them. For barn and marquee parties and leaving dos, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas for your guests.
In Arkley, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. 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. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
As a London location, Arkley is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we offer
- Two to four fillings
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
Questions from Arkley
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Whitings Hill Open Space?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Who looks after the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you don’t need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. We agree the timings with your venue, and guests build their own plates.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
About the menu
Salsas
Salsa lets everyone pick their own heat.
Warm tortillas
Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We warm them as the bar needs them.
How it compares
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What we offer in Arkley
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- A menu agreed with you
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- A clear quote

Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Travel, parking and access
- The length of service
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- What power and water the site has
- Expected numbers
- Your menu ideas
- Where the event is
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote.

We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.

What else we do in Arkley
How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. In Arkley, 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 normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Tell us about your event and your guests.
- You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.
- Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- At the end, we take everything away.
Before we arrive

- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
