Taco bar hire for Charlton events
Common questions in Charlton
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Charlton?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Which station should guests use for Charlton?
Upper Halliford station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
How much is a taco bar?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
What space does a taco bar need?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we’ll confirm what’s needed. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Taco bar hire for your event in Charlton
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. It suits back-garden gatherings and marquee parties, serving pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as Charlton, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
For event organisers in Charlton
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
What affects the price in Charlton
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The number of people
- What’s on the menu
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Travel, parking and access
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. When you are ready, use our quote form.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. From late May to late September, sunset in Charlton moves from about 8:55pm to 7:05pm. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.
