Taco bar hire in Hemsted, from our food truck or trailer
Fillings are agreed with you, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. At leaving and retirement parties and anniversary parties, we’ll put together a menu of guacamole, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
For a rural spot like Hemsted, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. You’ll know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Can I do a taco night myself?

Common questions in Hemsted
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
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.
How far is Hemsted from central London?
It is about 56 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Hemsted.

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Count children separately
- Ensure one filling is vegan
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.

When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
