Taco bar hire in Wanstead
Taco bar hire in Wanstead, from our food truck or trailer
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. It suits barn parties and company parties, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole.
Around Wanstead, a taco bar suits venues and gardens that a food truck cannot get into. We set up a station staffed by our team, where guests build their own tacos. We still need to park and unload close by, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension. Like all of Greater London, Wanstead is inside the ULEZ. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Questions from Wanstead
Is parking a problem for events in Wanstead?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. 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 Wanstead?
Typically, if the venue agrees to a staffed station. We still need somewhere close by to unload, and in London that may mean a loading bay or a parking suspension.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Wanstead?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the bar around them.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
Wanstead is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Menu ideas
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Two to four fillings
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
