Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Count children separately
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Choose at least one vegan filling
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
About our taco bar hire in Ruxley
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily. It suits company parties and milestone birthdays, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Ruxley have no vehicle access to the room. The station can go where the truck cannot, as long as the venue agrees, and the route from our parking spot to the station needs to be clear. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
In Ruxley, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.

Questions from Ruxley
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Foots Cray Meadows?
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.
Where would you park in Ruxley?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Ruxley?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
How much is a taco bar?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you will get a quote. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Popular choices
Hot fillings
You might choose two or three fillings, with at least one vegan. We agree them with you.
Toppings
Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Comparing your options
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
