Our caterer checklist

Taco bar hire in Redbridge, from our food truck or trailer

Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving. We serve warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls, which works well for christenings and family parties and birthday celebrations.

In a London neighbourhood like Redbridge, a taco bar is handy when the truck cannot reach the garden or the room. Our staff set up a serving station on a table, and guests build their own tacos. We still need to park and unload close by, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

A closer look at the menu

Toppings

Lime, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema.

Warm tortillas

Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We warm them as the bar needs them through service.

There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

What happens on the day

We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. In Redbridge, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.

Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.

Redbridge questions

Could the taco bar go somewhere in Redbridge that the truck can’t reach?

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.

What’s the nearest station to Redbridge for guests?

Guests can use Ilford station, about 1.4 miles south-east of Redbridge.

Can you do dairy-free food?

Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.

How much is a taco bar?

We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Share your plans and you will get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.

Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?

The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.

What does taco bar hire cost?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.

Can guests build their own tacos?

Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.

How big an event can you cater?

Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.

If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Andrew, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission.

Where the truck can go in Redbridge

Easy access from where we unload to the table
Power and water, which we confirm when you book
A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked

London streets around Redbridge can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.

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

Dietary needs and planning tips

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Ensure one filling is vegan
Put allergies in writing for us
Ensure guests have somewhere to sit

A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.

Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.

For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

If you are 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.
