How our taco bar hire works in Ilford
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too. It works well for garden parties and staff parties, with guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In Ilford, 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. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

What else we do in Ilford
Ilford questions
Which station should guests use for Ilford?
Ilford station, in Ilford itself.
Is it possible to have you in South Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. Service is timed around speeches and photos. There’s more in our taco bar guide.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
What does a taco bar cost?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
Our service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the bar to suit.
How we price taco bar hire
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Travel, parking and access
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The address or venue name
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- What power and water the site has

Popular choices
Vegan fillings
Vegan guests get a proper filling of their own.
Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, perhaps chicken tinga, birria or carnitas.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why book with us
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Allergen-aware menus
Why choose taco bar hire in Ilford?
It feels relaxed without being scruffy, because our staff keep the bar tidy and topped up.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:

What your quote should include
- Allergen information for each dish
- Space, access, power and water needs
- A clear list of what’s included
- When payment is due
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
London streets around Ilford can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. Winter evenings in Ilford close in by about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
