Taco bar hire in Charlton, from our truck or trailer
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. It works well for engagement parties and wedding meals, serving burrito bowls, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar.
In and around Charlton, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Planning the serving area

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

Common questions in Charlton
Could you serve in Betjeman Millennium Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity 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.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle can’t reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
How does a taco bar work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
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’ll do the serving.

If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

- Tell us how many children are coming
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions.
