How it compares
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
What you get with us
- We cover Sanderstead and the whole of Greater London
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- A plan agreed before the day
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar

Taco bar hire in Sanderstead, served fresh
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. At evening wedding receptions and company parties, we can serve pickled onions and toppings, burrito bowls and guacamole for your guests.
From an office courtyard to a hired room, a taco bar in Sanderstead needs space for a table and a queue. Let us know about the loading point and any stairs, lifts or narrow doorways. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
London streets around Sanderstead 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Menu ideas
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings

For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Sanderstead? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Sanderstead: your questions answered
Our venue in Sanderstead has no vehicle access: can we still have a taco bar?
Yes, with the venue’s agreement: our staff set up the station where your guests are. We still need somewhere close by to unload, and in London that may mean a loading bay or a parking suspension.
We are having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Is the taco bar staffed?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes through service.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Set out seating near the bar
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather.
Tell us if you need plates and cutlery and we will set out the options in your quote.

Who books taco bar hire in Sanderstead?
The bar can go where a vehicle cannot, such as a courtyard, a barn or a hall, with the venue’s agreement.
Whatever the occasion, our food truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We can cater:
- Family celebrations
- Wedding evening food
- Barn and marquee parties

A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
