About our taco bar hire in Sydenham
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. We serve pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and fresh salsas, which works well for anniversary parties and evening wedding receptions.
In a London neighbourhood like Sydenham, a taco bar is handy when the truck can’t reach the garden or the room. We set up a station staffed by our team, where guests build their own tacos. We still need to park and unload close by, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension. Like all of Greater London, Sydenham is inside the ULEZ. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

What taco bar hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Your choice of food and drinks
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
What’s on the menu
Warm tortillas
Tortillas are the base of the bar. We warm them as the bar needs them.
Salsas
Guests add as much heat as they like.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
