Taco bar hire for your event in Thorncombe Street
Our taco bar travels to events across Thorncombe Street and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. It suits back-garden gatherings and engagement and anniversary parties, with burrito bowls, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar.
Somewhere as small as Thorncombe Street, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Questions from Thorncombe Street
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Thorncombe Street?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
How far is Thorncombe Street from London?
About 31 miles from central London.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
How does a taco bar work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Do you have gluten-free options?
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.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
The menu, item by item
Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.
Salsas
Fresh salsas, from a mild tomato salsa to something hotter.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:
- Set out seating near the bar
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Choose at least one vegan filling
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
How it compares
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the bar, guests build their own. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
