Taco bar hire in Surrey Quays, served fresh
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits evening wedding receptions and wedding breakfasts.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Surrey Quays have no vehicle access to the room. A taco bar station can be set up away from the truck, with the venue’s agreement, 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.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Set out seating near the bar
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Comparing your options
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Surrey Quays
We’re having a ceremony at St Katharine with St Bartholomew: 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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Our venue in Surrey Quays has no vehicle access: can we still have a taco bar?
Yes, with the venue’s agreement: our staff set up the station where your guests are. We still need somewhere close by to unload, and in London that may mean a loading bay or a parking suspension.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
Truck and trailer service normally 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.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We agree the timings with your venue.
How the day works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Surrey Quays until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
