Taco bar hire in Stubb's Cross, from our food truck or trailer
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, warm corn and flour tortillas and fresh salsas, and it is a good fit for evening receptions and birthday parties.
Near Stubb's Cross, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
If the schedule slips, tell us and we’ll hold everything hot until you are ready.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Stubb's Cross
We’re having a ceremony at St Francis: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Could you serve in Ashford Community Woodland?
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.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. We agree the timings with your venue, and guests build their own plates.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the bar to suit.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Stubb's Cross.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we’ll quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- Space for a serving table on level ground
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Menu ideas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas

Vegan fillings
A vegan filling sits on the bar with the rest, not an afterthought.
