Taco bar hire for Southend events
What taco bar hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How long we’re needed on site
- Serving staff
- Guest numbers
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A picture of where we’d park
- The address or venue name
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.
How our taco bar hire works in Southend
The toppings are where guests get creative: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema. At wedding evening food and wedding day food, we will put together a menu of pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas and more.
Near Southend, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.

Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
