Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan around them. At county and country shows and village fêtes and summer fairs, we will put together a menu of tacos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos for your guests.
London street parties and fairs in Holborn need careful planning around road closures, access and pitch size. Send us the pitch size, access route and timings. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Holborn events: pitches and permissions
Holborn is about 2 miles north-west of London, in Greater London. For an event in Holborn, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. Holborn is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we can bring Mexican street food.
For a public event, it helps to tell people that Farringdon station is in Holborn itself. A school such as St Alban's Church of England Primary School running a summer fair could book a taco truck.
Wherever your event is in WC1X, WC1N and EC1R, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Whether your event is on Shoe Lane, Drury Lane and New Square or anywhere nearby, we can bring Mexican street food there, given access. With the A4 and A40 close by, Holborn is simple for us to get to. We also serve at events in Farringdon (1 mile east), St Pancras (1 mile north-west), Clare Market (1 mile south), Smithfield (1 mile east) and Temple Bar (1 mile south). Further out, we also cater in Kensington (4 miles west), Walthamstow (6 miles north-east), Hampstead (4 miles north-west), Ruislip (13 miles west), Brompton (3 miles south-west) and Stockwell (4 miles south).

What’s the nearest station to Holborn for guests?
Guests can use Farringdon station, which is right in Holborn.

Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?

- Outdoor cinema and theatre nights

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Trader information and site rules
Holborn is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
