Taco bar hire in Anerley: local tips
Anerley is about 2 miles north-east of Thornton Heath, in Greater London. Across the SE20 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there’s access. Anerley is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we can bring taco bar hire.
When the service is at a church such as St Paul's, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Historic houses near Anerley include Kingswood House (1.3 miles north-west) and Bromley Palace (3.9 miles east). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off.
Anywhere in SE20, SE19 and SE26, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. We can cater an event on streets such as Maple Road, Padua Road and Genoa Road or the roads around them. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Penge (1 mile east), Crystal Palace (1 mile north), Sydenham (1 mile north-east), Gipsy Hill (1 mile north-west) and Upper Norwood (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include London (6 miles north), City of Westminster (8 miles north-west), Marylebone (8 miles north-west), Kensington (8 miles north-west), St Pancras (8 miles north) and Shoreditch (8 miles north).

About our taco bar hire in Anerley
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. It suits retirement parties and birthday parties, serving burrito bowls, pickled onions and toppings and a build-your-own taco bar.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Anerley 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. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Common questions in Anerley
Could the taco bar go somewhere in Anerley that the truck can’t 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 is closest to Anerley?
Guests can use Anerley station, which is right in Anerley.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue, and guests build their own plates.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Where the truck can go in Anerley
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
Anerley 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 you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches so there’s always one ready. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Around midsummer it stays light in Anerley until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Why choose taco bar hire in Anerley?
Guests on special diets don’t need a separate meal, since corn tortillas and vegan fillings sit with everything else.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Leaving dos
- Christenings and family parties
- Barn and marquee parties
Parks such as Crystal Palace Dinosaurs typically need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan.
