Taco bar hire in Ruislip, served fresh
We bring taco bars to events in and around Ruislip: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces. At christenings and family parties and summer garden parties, we can serve pickled onions and toppings, burrito bowls and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In a London neighbourhood like Ruislip, a taco bar is handy when the truck can’t reach the garden or the room. We set up a station staffed by our team, where guests build their own tacos. We still have to unload nearby, so let us know about loading, permits and parking. Like all of Greater London, Ruislip is inside the ULEZ. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
