Taco bar hire in Cranbrook
How our taco bar hire works in Cranbrook
You choose the fillings with us, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. We serve pickled onions and toppings, guacamole and burrito bowls, and it’s a good fit for evening wedding receptions and engagement and anniversary parties.
Around Cranbrook, a taco bar suits venues and gardens that a food truck can’t get into. 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. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Cranbrook: your questions answered
What about parking in Cranbrook?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What’s the nearest station to Cranbrook for guests?
Guests can use Ilford station, about 0.5 miles south-east of Cranbrook.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
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.

What else we do in Cranbrook
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
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.

Why us?
- Allergen information for every dish
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- A plan agreed before the day
- Everything served fresh from the hatch

Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. In Cranbrook, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- 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.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
