How our taco bar hire works in West Norwood
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. Popular choices include warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas, and it is a good fit for barn and marquee parties and team lunches.
In West Norwood, all a taco bar needs is room for the station and space for guests to queue. Let us know about the loading point and any stairs, lifts or narrow doorways. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Your questions about taco bar hire in West Norwood
We’re having a ceremony at West Norwood Congregational Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Which station is closest to West Norwood?
The closest is West Norwood station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. For a price, fill in our quote form.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What should the venue provide?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Step by step
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A December taco bar in West Norwood will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
How to get a price
