Taco bar hire in Gipsy Hill, from our food truck or trailer
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, warm corn and flour tortillas and burrito bowls, and it suits wedding evening food and company parties.
In Gipsy Hill, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. The station can go where the truck can’t, as long as the venue agrees, and the route from our parking spot to the station needs to be clear. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
As a London location, Gipsy Hill is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Menu ideas
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
Comparing your options
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included

Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Set out seating near the bar
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Gipsy Hill
Could the taco bar go somewhere in Gipsy Hill that the truck cannot reach?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer doesn’t have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.
Is parking a problem for events in Gipsy Hill?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
What does a taco bar cost?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. We fit it around your speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
How much space 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. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
