Taco bar hire in Plaistow
Taco bar hire in Plaistow, served fresh
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. At team lunches and engagement parties, we can serve pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
Near Plaistow, 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. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. 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. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Share a few details about the event.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- At the end, we take everything away.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day

The menu, item by item
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Vegan fillings
Spiced mushroom, or black bean and sweet potato, cooked separately.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
