Taco bar hire for your event in Thornton Heath
Truck and trailer bookings normally suit around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the taco bar to match. It works well for office lunches and evening wedding receptions, with fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Thornton Heath have no vehicle access to the room. The station can go where the truck can’t, as long as the venue agrees, and the route from our parking spot to the station needs to be clear. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Fit the bar into your running order
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
