Taco bar hire for your event in Eltham
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. It suits company parties and engagement parties, with burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In Eltham, all a taco bar needs is room for the station and space for guests to queue. Tell us where we can stop to unload, and about stairs, lifts or narrow doors. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Food, drinks or both
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How long we’re needed on site
- What the venue already provides
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.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Send us the date, your venue or SE9 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Common questions in Eltham
Which station is closest to Eltham?
Guests can use Mottingham station, which is right in Eltham.
Is it possible to have you in Horn Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we’ll check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Winter evenings in Eltham close in by about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us about your event and your guests.
- You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.
- Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- At the end, we take everything away.
Before we arrive

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
