About our taco bar hire in Cranham
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. Popular choices include pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas, and it suits christenings and family parties and wedding meals.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Cranham have no vehicle access to the room. The station can go where the truck can’t, as long as the venue agrees, and the route from our parking spot to the station needs to be clear. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Who books taco bar hire in Cranham?
Guests on special diets do not need a separate meal.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. People in Cranham can book us for events such as:
- Leaving and retirement parties
- Anniversary parties
- Team socials
- Barn parties
Historic houses near Cranham include Hare Hall (3 miles north-west) and Rainham Hall (4.5 miles south-west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Cranham questions
Could you serve in St. Andrew's Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Cranham?
The closest is Upminster station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue, and guests build their own plates.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
What’s on the menu
Vegan fillings
Spiced mushroom, or black bean and sweet potato.
Hot fillings
You might choose two or three fillings, including a vegan one. We agree them with you.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Why book with us
- Quoted for your event
- Allergen information for every dish
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
