Common questions in Jacobs Well
Is Jacobs Well close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What space does a taco bar need?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will confirm what’s needed. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Jacobs Well?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, our bookings typically fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Taco bar hire in Jacobs Well, served fresh
Our taco bar travels to events across Jacobs Well and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. At marquee parties and christenings and family parties, we can serve pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas for your guests.
In a small place like Jacobs Well, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. 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. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Before you plan a taco bar in Stringer's Common, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement.

Check with yours where a taco bar station and our food truck or trailer could go.

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Around midsummer it stays light in Jacobs Well until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- 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 set up the station and keep everything hot.
- At the end, we take everything away.
How to prepare

The price comes down to a few factors:

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
