Taco bar hire in Putney Vale
How our taco bar hire works in Putney Vale
You choose the fillings with us, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. Popular choices include pickled onions and toppings, burrito bowls and fresh salsas, and it suits wedding breakfasts and leaving dos.
In Putney Vale, 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 we need a short, clear route from where we unload. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Putney Vale questions
Which station should guests use for Putney Vale?
The closest is Raynes Park station, roughly 2 miles away.
Our venue in Putney Vale has no vehicle access: can we still have a taco bar?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer does not have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
How much is a taco bar?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Is the taco bar staffed?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes through service.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
