Taco bar hire in Crockenhill, served fresh
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, as long as the venue agrees. We serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, guacamole and pickled onions and toppings, and it is a good fit for evening wedding receptions and working lunches.
Near Crockenhill, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Crockenhill
We’re having a ceremony at Church of All Souls: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
How far is Crockenhill from central London?
About 14 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What do you need at the venue?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
What does a taco bar cost?
We quote for each taco bar, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. For a price, use our quote form.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Who looks after the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so your hosts do not need to. We pack it away afterwards.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

About the menu
Hot fillings
A few fillings give guests plenty of choice. We agree them with you.
Vegan fillings
Black bean and sweet potato, or spiced mushrooms, cooked separately.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Crockenhill until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Contact us with your 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.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Give us your final numbers and diets
