About our taco bar hire in Carshalton
Truck and trailer bookings typically suit 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. At wedding day food and leaving dos, we’ll put together a menu of slow-cooked fillings kept hot, guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a London neighbourhood like Carshalton, a taco bar is handy when the truck can’t reach the garden or the room. We set up a station staffed by our team, where 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. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- 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’s on the menu
Guacamole
Freshly made guacamole with lime.
Hot fillings
A few fillings give guests plenty of choice. You choose them with us.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Choose at least one vegan filling
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Winter evenings in Carshalton close in by about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Share a few details about the event.
- 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.

- Room for guests to queue along the table

That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.

What else we do in Carshalton
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
