How our taco bar hire works in Hammer Bottom
Our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. We serve pickled onions and toppings, burrito bowls and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it is a good fit for evening receptions and barn and marquee parties.
Somewhere as small as Hammer Bottom, 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, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Hammer Bottom questions
How far is Hammer Bottom from central London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Hammer Bottom?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.

What else we do in Hammer Bottom
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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, and handles allergen information for you.
