Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of people
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we are needed on site
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your date and when you want service to start
- What you’d like on the menu
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Taco bar hire in Beckton, from our truck or trailer
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. It works well for team lunches and christenings and family parties, serving burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
In Beckton, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. The station can go where the truck can’t, as long as the venue agrees, and the route from our parking spot to the station needs to be clear. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Questions from Beckton
Can you set up a taco bar where your truck cannot park in Beckton?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer does not have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we’ll confirm what’s needed. We also need the venue’s permission.
A closer look at the menu
Toppings
Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.
Taco bar hire or something else?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
