Taco bar hire in Upton, from our food truck or trailer
We bring taco bars to events in and around Upton: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces. It works well for leaving dos and evening wedding receptions, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
Around Upton, a taco bar suits venues and gardens that a food truck cannot get into. Our staff set up a serving station on a table, and guests build their own tacos. We still have to unload nearby, so let us know about loading, permits and parking. Like all of Greater London, Upton is inside the ULEZ. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Close to Upton are historic houses such as Valentines Mansion (2.8 miles north-east) and Eastbury Manor House (3.1 miles east).

Here we cover the E7, E13 and E15 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer.

Questions from Upton
Is parking a problem for events in Upton?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Can you set up a taco bar where your truck cannot park in Upton?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer does not have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. Service is timed around speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you cover Upton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Upton is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How much is a taco bar?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

How it compares
Next to a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
