Taco bar hire in Downham, from our truck or trailer
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. At barn parties and birthday celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas and more.
In Downham, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. The station can go where the truck cannot, as long as the venue agrees, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. In Downham, 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 generally served in daylight. In December it is 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.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us what power and water the site has

It gets people talking: people chat about salsas and fillings while they build.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:

What your quote should include

What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
As a London location, Downham is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Downham
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Toppings
Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Guacamole
Guacamole made fresh, with lime and coriander.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many staff you need
- Timings and hours
- What the venue already provides
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Expected numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Your menu ideas
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
