Taco bar hire in Waltham Forest
How our taco bar hire works in Waltham Forest
We bring taco bars to events in and around Waltham Forest: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. On the menu are burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings, which works well for wedding breakfasts and marquee parties.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Waltham Forest have no vehicle access to the room. A taco bar station can be set up away from the truck, with the venue’s agreement, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Common questions in Waltham Forest
What about parking in Waltham Forest?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you set up a taco bar where your truck can’t park in Waltham Forest?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer doesn’t have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
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. There’s more in our taco bar guide.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you come to Waltham Forest?
We do. We serve at events in Waltham Forest and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Taco bar hire or something else?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether you need disposables
- What’s on the menu
- The length of service
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What you’d like on the menu
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.
