How we price taco bar hire

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Travel, parking and access
  • The number of people
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food
  • Plates, napkins and cutlery

Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.

What to tell us

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Where the event is
  • Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • What power and water the site has

The quickest way to a quote is to send a quick message through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will suggest a menu to suit.

Taco bar hire in Ponders End, from our food truck or trailer

We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. Popular choices include pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for wedding breakfasts and milestone birthdays.

London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Ponders End have no vehicle access to the room. A taco bar station can be set up away from the truck, with the venue’s agreement, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

How it works

When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Ponders End until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.

  1. Send us the date, venue and numbers.
  2. We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
  3. The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
  4. On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
  5. When everyone has eaten, we pack up.

Before we arrive

  • Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

DIY taco night versus a caterer

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

FAQs for Ponders End

Can you set up a taco bar where your truck can’t park in Ponders End?

Yes, with the venue’s agreement: our staff set up the station where your guests are. We still need to park and unload nearby, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension.

What about parking in Ponders End?

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.

How many guests can you serve?

That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.

Which areas do you serve?

We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.

How many guests can a taco bar serve?

That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, our bookings generally fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.

Can you run a bar?

Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.

Can you do dairy-free food?

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Can you cater for children?

Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.

Perfect for your event in Ponders End

It gets people talking: people chat about salsas and fillings while they build.

Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:

  • Engagement parties
  • Birthday parties
  • Office lunches
  • Wedding day food

Close to Ponders End are historic houses such as Forty Hall (2.2 miles north-west) and Bruce Castle (3.3 miles south-west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off.

Our caterer checklist

Before you choose a spot

We will be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:

  • The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
  • Easy access from where we unload to the table
  • A parking or loading spot near the serving area

Ponders End is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

What we offer

  • Corn and flour tortillas
  • Vegan fillings
  • Pickled onions and toppings
  • Tortilla chips
  • Two to four fillings
  • Salsas and guacamole

  • Collect dietary needs with your replies
  • Ask the venue where we can park to unload
  • Include a vegan filling on the bar
  • Flag any guest with coeliac disease
