Taco bar hire for Ratcliff events
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. Winter evenings in Ratcliff close in by about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Taco bar hire in Ratcliff, served fresh
Truck and trailer bookings typically suit around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. It works well for working lunches and retirement parties, with guacamole, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
In Ratcliff, all a taco bar needs is room for the station and space for guests to queue. Tell us where we can stop to unload, and about stairs, lifts or narrow doors, as London parking takes planning. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Questions from Ratcliff
Our venue in Ratcliff 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 it possible to have you in Stepney Green Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
Do you come to Ratcliff?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Ratcliff and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What does a taco bar cost?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.

- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your menu ideas
- Expected numbers

The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Ratcliff, and we will put together a menu and price.
Where the truck can go in Ratcliff
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- A clear area in front of the station
- Details of power and water near the bar
Ratcliff 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we offer
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Two to four fillings
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Tell us if you need plates and cutlery and we will set out the options in your quote.
Should I do it myself?
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, and handles allergen information for you.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
