How our taco bar hire works in St Mary Cray
Fillings are agreed with you, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. It suits summer garden parties and team lunches, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and a build-your-own taco bar.
From an office courtyard to a hired room, a taco bar in St Mary Cray needs space for a table and a queue. Tell us where we can stop to unload, and about stairs, lifts or narrow doors. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Your questions about taco bar hire in St Mary Cray
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Where would you park in St Mary Cray?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
How does a taco bar work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests build their own tacos. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Daylight in St Mary Cray runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of St Mary Cray, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
This part of Greater London takes in BR5, BR6 and BR7, so your event can be anywhere in it.

Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
In St Mary Cray, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
