Taco bar hire for your event in Russell Hill

You choose the fillings with us, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. Popular choices include slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings, and it’s a good fit for company parties and wedding evening food.

Around Russell Hill, a taco bar suits venues and gardens that a food truck can’t get into. Our staff set up a serving station on a table, and guests build their own tacos. We still have to unload nearby, so let us know about loading, permits and parking. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Working with your venue

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.

Step by step

From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. In Russell Hill, 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 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.

  1. Share a few details about the event.
  2. You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.
  3. Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
  4. We set up the station and keep everything hot.
  5. Afterwards, we pack down and leave the area tidy.

How to prepare

  • Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
  • Tell us what power and water the site has
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

The menu, item by item

Warm tortillas

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

Hot fillings

Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.

What taco bar hire costs

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • How many guests we are serving
  • How long we are needed on site
  • Food, drinks or both
  • Your choice of food and drinks

Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

Details that help

To check availability and price, we need:

  • What power and water the site has
  • The date and rough timings
  • Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
  • The address or venue name

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, fill in our quote form.

Comparing your options

Next to a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

Russell Hill: your questions answered

Could you serve our guests after a service at St. Paul's?

Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Which station should guests use for Russell Hill?

Waddon station, about 1 mile north of the centre.

Do you take everything away?

We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.

Can you do gluten-free food?

We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?

Yes. We offer dairy-free options.

Do you cater in Russell Hill?

Yes, we do. Russell Hill is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Does the taco bar need the truck on site?

The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.

Planning the serving area

If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:

  • A level area for the taco-bar table
  • Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
  • Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking

As a London location, Russell Hill is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

On the menu in Russell Hill

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

Can I do a taco night myself?

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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
