Taco bar hire in Paddock, served fresh
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. For barn and marquee parties and family celebrations, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot for your guests.
Near Paddock, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Paddock questions
How far is Paddock from London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Paddock?
Charing station, about 3 miles west of the centre.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
How much is a taco bar?
We quote for each taco bar, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Planning help
Perfect for your event in Paddock
Guests on special diets don’t need a separate meal.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Summer garden parties
- Barn and marquee parties
- Family get-togethers
- Team socials
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Cosmas and St Damian, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
Before you book anyone
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- Staff numbers and hours
- When payment is due
- How each diet is kept separate

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Pizza is a safe choice, but a taco bar gives guests more say over what they eat. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What you get with us
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- A menu agreed with you
- Quoted for your event

Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
