Taco bar hire near Penge
Taco bar hire in Penge, served fresh
The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. It suits family get-togethers and team lunches, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and pickled onions and toppings.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Penge have no vehicle access to the room. The station can go where the truck cannot, as long as the venue agrees, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Penge
Could you serve in Crystal Palace Dinosaurs?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Penge?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
What should the venue provide?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Do you do parties at home?
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.
Is the taco bar staffed?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you do not need helpers. When service ends, we clear it away.
How it compares
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
