About our taco bar hire in West Ham
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. It suits birthday celebrations and family celebrations, serving pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
From an office courtyard to a hired room, a taco bar in West Ham needs space for a table and a queue. Tell us where we can stop to unload, and about stairs, lifts or narrow doors, as London parking takes planning. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. In West Ham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
London streets around West Ham can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
What we offer
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole

Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Guest numbers
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Parking and the route in
There is 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.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu ideas
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Expected numbers
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.
