Taco bar hire in Longstock, from our food truck or trailer
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. It suits office lunches and engagement and anniversary parties, with fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a small place like Longstock, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

What we need at the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Longstock
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. In Longstock, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Give us a contact for the day

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Longstock
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Do you cater in villages like Longstock?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
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.
Do you cover Longstock?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Longstock is within our area. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How much is a taco bar?
We quote for each taco bar, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. For a price, use our quote form.

The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
