Taco bar hire in Hacton

Taco bar hire in Hacton, served fresh

With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole, which works well for leaving dos and marquee parties.

Around Hacton, a taco bar suits venues and gardens that a food truck cannot get into. 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, Hacton is inside the ULEZ. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

Questions from Hacton

Could you serve our guests after a service at St Matthews Church Hall?

Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.

Could you serve in Hornchurch Country Park?

It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.

Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?

Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.

Do you cover Hacton?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Hacton is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.

Can I do a taco night myself?

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Planning the serving area

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • Space for a line of guests at the bar
  • Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
  • A flat spot for the taco-bar station

In Hacton, 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 you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Popular choices

  • Pickled onions and toppings
  • Salsas and guacamole
  • Corn and flour tortillas
  • Vegan fillings
  • Two to four fillings
  • Tortilla chips

What affects the price in Hacton

These are the factors that matter most:

  • The number of people
  • How long we are needed on site
  • Staff for serving and the bar
  • The menu you choose

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

Details that help

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • What power and water the site has
  • How we drive in and where we can park
  • The date and time of the event

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

Planning for every diet

Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:

  • Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
  • Make sure one filling is vegan
  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.

Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we’ll confirm what’s possible in your quote.
