How our taco bar hire works in Forest Gate
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving. It suits engagement and anniversary parties and barn and marquee parties, serving burrito bowls, guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar.
In Forest Gate, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. A taco bar station can be set up away from the truck, with the venue’s agreement, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
- Food, drinks or both
- How long we’re needed on site
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want service to start
- The address or venue name
- What you’d like on the menu
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, send a quick message through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
In Forest Gate, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.

Common questions in Forest Gate
Which station is closest to Forest Gate?

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. Around midsummer it stays light in Forest Gate until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Tell us about your event and your guests.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- We check power, water and access with your venue.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- At the end, we take everything away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
