Taco bar hire in Longfield, served fresh
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. At barn parties and team socials, we can serve fresh salsas, pickled onions and toppings and burrito bowls.
In a small place like Longfield, 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 arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Guest numbers
- The menu you choose
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Food, drinks or both
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your menu ideas
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- How we drive in and where we can park
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, tell us about it on our contact page.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Winter evenings in Longfield close in by about 3:50pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Common questions in Longfield
How far is Longfield from central London?
It’s about 19 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which station should guests use for Longfield?
Longfield station, in Longfield itself.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear 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). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Why choose taco bar hire in Longfield?
A taco bar feeds a crowd steadily, which suits a wedding breakfast or a lunch break.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. People in Longfield can book us for occasions like:
- Birthday parties
- Christenings and family parties
- Anniversary parties
- Summer garden parties
Close to Longfield are historic houses such as Cobham College (4 miles east). 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.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. 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. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
