About our taco bar hire in Finkley
We bring taco bars to events in and around Finkley: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there is room for the table. At wedding meals and evening receptions, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole and more.
Somewhere as small as Finkley, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we’ll set out the options in your quote.
Finkley: your questions answered
Is Finkley close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
We are having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
What should the venue provide?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the bar around them.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A clear area in front of the station
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Menu ideas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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, with allergen information for every dish.
What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. In Finkley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
