About our taco bar hire in Aldwych
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily. It suits barn parties and wedding meals, with fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Aldwych have no vehicle access to the room. The station can go where the truck cannot, as long as the venue agrees, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Pizza is the usual crowd-pleaser, but a taco bar gives guests more say over what they eat. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first

Questions from Aldwych
Could the taco bar go somewhere in Aldwych that the truck cannot reach?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer does not have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.
Which station should guests use for Aldwych?
The closest is London Charing Cross station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Winter evenings in Aldwych close in by about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
