Taco bar hire in Strood Green, from our truck or trailer
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. It suits office lunches and wedding evening food, with fresh salsas, guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar.
Somewhere as small as Strood Green, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
FAQs for Strood Green
Do you cater in villages like Strood Green?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
We’re having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Strood Green?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

What else we do in Strood Green
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. In Strood Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
