About our taco bar hire in Pingewood
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. It suits team lunches and barn and marquee parties, with guacamole, fresh salsas and burrito bowls.
Near Pingewood, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. At the hatch, we make each order; at the bar, guests build their own. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

Pingewood: your questions answered
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Pingewood?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
How far is Pingewood from London?
It’s about 40 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Is the taco bar staffed?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes through service.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
