About our taco bar hire in Broad Oak
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. At summer garden parties and engagement parties, we’ll put together a menu of slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas and more.
Near Broad Oak, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Common questions in Broad Oak
How far is Broad Oak from central London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
What’s the nearest station to Broad Oak for guests?
The closest is Doleham station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, our bookings generally fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. In Broad Oak, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
