Taco bar hire for your event in Plaistow
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Popular choices include pickled onions and toppings, fresh salsas and burrito bowls, and it suits family get-togethers and wedding breakfasts.
In Plaistow, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. A taco bar station can be set up away from the truck, with the venue’s agreement, and the route from our parking spot to the station needs to be clear. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Taco bar hire or something else?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Common questions in Plaistow
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Downham Fields?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Is parking a problem for events in Plaistow?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Who looks after the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you don’t need helpers. When service ends, we clear it away.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. In Plaistow, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- 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.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
