How our taco bar hire works in Elmstead
Our taco bar travels to events across Elmstead and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there’s room for the table. For summer garden parties and retirement parties, we can serve pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and burrito bowls for your guests.
In a London neighbourhood like Elmstead, a taco bar is handy when the truck can’t reach the garden or the room. 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. Like all of Greater London, Elmstead is inside the ULEZ. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Send us allergy details in writing
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Tell us if you need plates and cutlery and we’ll set out the options in your quote.
Popular choices
Toppings
Lime, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, agreed with you.
Salsas
A row of salsas, mild to hot, made for your event.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Comparing your options
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- A menu built around your guests
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Book food, drinks or both

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning a taco bar in Elmstead

- How many guests we’re serving
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Timings and hours

Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

- Roughly how many adults and children

FAQs for Elmstead
Could the taco bar go somewhere in Elmstead that the truck cannot reach?
Generally, if the venue agrees to a staffed station. We still need to park and unload nearby, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
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.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. Around midsummer it stays light in Elmstead until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
