Taco bar hire for your event in Gants Hill
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. Popular choices include burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas, which works well for summer garden parties and barn parties.
In a London neighbourhood like Gants Hill, a taco bar is handy when the truck cannot reach the garden or the room. Our staff set up a serving station on a table, and guests build their own tacos. We still have to unload nearby, so let us know about loading, permits and parking. Like all of Greater London, Gants Hill is inside the ULEZ. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

A build-your-own taco bar in Gants Hill
Gants Hill is about 3 miles north-east of Forest Gate, in Greater London. From the centre of Gants Hill to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 764 places in Greater London, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is London, about 9 miles away.
By road, Gants Hill is on or near the A123, so bringing the taco bar and our food truck or trailer is straightforward. When the service is at a church such as St George's Church, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
We cover events in every part of IG2, IG6 and IG1. Streets in the area include Bute Road, Perth Road and Shere Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. With the A123 close by, Gants Hill is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer for your event. Nearby, we also cater events in Newbury Park (1 mile east), Barkingside (1 mile north-east), Redbridge (1 mile west), Cranbrook (1 mile south-west) and Ilford (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover London (9 miles south-west), City of Westminster (11 miles south-west), Marylebone (10 miles south-west), Kensington (13 miles south-west), St Pancras (9 miles south-west) and Shoreditch (7 miles south-west).
A little further out are Waltham Holy Cross Urban District (2 miles north-east) and Redbridge Museum (1.3 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Hollow Pond and Hainault Lodge.
- Local schools include Valentines High School (less than half a mile south-west)
Common questions in Gants Hill
What’s the nearest station to Gants Hill for guests?
Guests can use Ilford station, about 1.2 miles south of Gants Hill.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St George's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
What should the venue provide?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
What if the weather’s bad?
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.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
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 access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.

Where the truck can go in Gants Hill
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
In Gants Hill, 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
On the menu in Gants Hill
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole

Comparing your options
Buffet trays can go cold and tired. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
