Taco bar hire in Lee

Taco bar hire in Lee, served fresh

The toppings are where guests get creative: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, agreed with you in advance. We serve pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for engagement and anniversary parties and team lunches.

In a London neighbourhood like Lee, a taco bar is handy when the truck cannot reach the garden or the room. Our staff set up a serving station on a table, and guests build their own tacos. We still have to unload nearby, so let us know about loading, permits and parking. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Planners, venues and businesses

Organising a club, school or community event in Lee? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

What taco bar hire costs

Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Timings and hours
  • What’s on the menu
  • What the venue already provides
  • How many staff you need

Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.

Getting an accurate quote

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Expected numbers
  • Your date and when you want service to start
  • The address or venue name

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

Perfect for your event in Lee

It feels relaxed without being scruffy, with our staff keeping the table stocked and neat.

We can help if you’re planning any of the following:

  • Family get-togethers
  • Office lunches
  • Staff parties
  • Evening wedding receptions

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Plates and napkins, or nothing at all

Choosing a Mexican caterer

Lee: your questions answered

What about parking in Lee?

That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.

Our venue in Lee has no vehicle access: can we still have a taco bar?

Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer doesn’t have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.

How long do you serve for?

We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.

Do you do parties at home?

Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.

Can guests build their own tacos?

Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.

Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?

That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.

Do you stay to run the taco bar?

Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes.

Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?

It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. We agree the timings with your venue, and guests build their own plates.

A build-your-own taco bar in Lee

Lee is about 2 miles south of Greenwich, in Greater London. Anywhere in SE12, we can serve your guests. Lee is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 6 miles away.

Parks such as Manor House Gardens typically need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Lee has its own station, Lee station.

We cover events in every part of SE12, SE13 and SE3 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Old Road, Manor Lane and Mallet Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. For events just outside Lee, we cover Hither Green (1 mile west), Horn Park (1 mile south-east), Lewisham (1 mile north-west), Ladywell (1 mile west) and Blackheath (1 mile north). We also cater in nearby towns such as London (6 miles north-west), City of Westminster (8 miles north-west), Marylebone (8 miles north-west), Kensington (10 miles west), St Pancras (7 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (6 miles north-west).

Diets, allergies and planning

We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Collect dietary needs with your replies
  • Flag any guest with coeliac disease
  • Confirm any allergies to us by email
  • Agree the serving spot with your venue early

We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.

Our food truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar.

What’s on the menu

Vegan fillings

Spiced mushroom, or black bean and sweet potato, cooked separately.

Toppings

Pickled onions, coriander, lime, lettuce and cheese, agreed with you.

Can I do a taco night myself?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

What happens on the day

Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Winter evenings in Lee close in by about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.

  1. Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
  2. We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
  3. Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
  4. On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
  5. Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
  • Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
  • Tell us what power and water the site has
