Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Food, drinks or both
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- How we drive in and where we can park
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send a quick message through our quote form.
How our taco bar hire works in South Hornchurch
We bring taco bars to events in and around South Hornchurch: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. At family get-togethers and back-garden gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas, burrito bowls and guacamole for your guests.
In South Hornchurch, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. 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. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
In South Hornchurch, 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
Perfect for your event in South Hornchurch
A full taco bar looks inviting: salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out together make an easy centrepiece.
In South Hornchurch and nearby, we can cater all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:

If your garden is hard to reach, a hired hall or club around South Hornchurch could take the taco bar instead.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, if it applies
- A food hygiene rating you can check

South Hornchurch questions
Can you set up a taco bar where your truck can’t park in South Hornchurch?
Yes, with the venue’s agreement: our staff set up the station where your guests are. We still need to park and unload nearby, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension.
Could you serve in Beam Valley Country Park?
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’ll send what they need from us.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How much is a taco bar?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. For a price, fill in our quote form.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What space does a taco bar need?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will confirm what’s needed. We also need the venue’s permission.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
