Taco bar hire for your event in Cross Gate
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. For marquee parties and back-garden gatherings, we will put together a menu of guacamole, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot and more.
Near Cross Gate, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather.
Our food truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar.

- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.

Cross Gate: your questions answered
Is Cross Gate close to London?
It’s about 44 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is it possible to have you in Parham 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.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you will get a quote. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. Service is timed around speeches and photos. There’s more in our taco bar guide.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
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.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the bar, guests build their own. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
