Taco bar hire in Hooley, from our truck or trailer
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. For wedding breakfasts and family celebrations, we can serve warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and fresh salsas.
In Hooley, all a taco bar needs is room for the station and space for guests to queue. Tell us where we can stop to unload, and about stairs, lifts or narrow doors. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Hooley: your questions answered
Where would you park in Hooley?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Shabden Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
What does a taco bar cost?
We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at 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, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Why choose taco bar hire in Hooley?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What we offer in Hooley
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- A clear quote
- Menus for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Allergen-aware menus
Who books taco bar hire in Hooley?
Guests on special diets do not need a separate meal.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Barn and marquee parties
- Evening receptions
- Birthday parties
- Summer garden parties
Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Chipstead station is about 1.4 miles away.
What your quote should include
- When final numbers are due
- How each diet is kept separate
- What happens if it rains
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
About the menu
Guacamole
Guacamole goes quickly on a taco bar, so we keep it topped up.
Vegan fillings
Spiced mushroom, or black bean and sweet potato, cooked separately.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
In Hooley, 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 photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Hooley
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. From late May to late September, sunset in Hooley moves from about 8:50pm to 7:05pm. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
- Tell us about your event and your guests.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- We check power, water and access with your venue.
- We arrive, unload and lay out warm tortillas, fillings and toppings.
- At the end, we take everything away.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
