Taco bar hire in Elmstone
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Food, drinks or both
- How many guests we are serving
- The length of service
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and time of the event

How our taco bar hire works in Elmstone
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. On the menu are warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and pickled onions and toppings, and it suits anniversary parties and evening receptions.
Near Elmstone, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

What happens on the day
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. A December taco bar in Elmstone will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
What we offer
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Choose at least one vegan filling
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Common questions in Elmstone
Can you cater a reception after a service at Elmstone Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
Which station should guests use for Elmstone?
Minster station, about 3.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We do not publish set prices, as each booking is different. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

How it compares
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
