Taco bar hire for Locksbottom events
How it compares
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Served fresh from our food truck or trailer
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included

Taco bar hire in Locksbottom, served fresh
We bring taco bars to events in and around Locksbottom: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there is room for the table. Popular choices include pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole, which works well for company parties and birthday celebrations.
From an office courtyard to a hired room, a taco bar in Locksbottom needs space for a table and a queue. Tell us where we can stop to unload, and about stairs, lifts or narrow doors, as London parking takes planning. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Locksbottom: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Locksbottom for guests?
The closest is Orpington station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Is parking a problem for events in Locksbottom?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It 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 will advise.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What space does a taco bar need?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we’ll check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Planning a taco bar in Locksbottom

Historic houses near Locksbottom include Down House (2.7 miles south) and Bromley Palace (2.8 miles north-west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off. Parks such as South Park normally need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 6 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Locksbottom. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.
