Taco bar hire in Totford, from our truck or trailer
Our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the taco bar to match. Popular choices include pickled onions and toppings, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for evening wedding receptions and retirement parties.
In a small place like Totford, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Totford
Which station should guests use for Totford?
The closest is Micheldever station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the bar around them.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Totford.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Menu ideas

- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips

Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. People in Totford can book us for occasions like:
- Staff parties

If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St John the Evangelist, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission.

- How bad weather is handled
- The venue requirements
- Payment terms and deposit
How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. A December taco bar in Totford will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
