Taco bar hire in South Croydon
How our taco bar hire works in South Croydon
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. It suits marquee parties and back-garden gatherings, serving a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In a London neighbourhood like South Croydon, 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. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
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. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
