How taco bar hire works in Greater London

Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too. It suits back-garden gatherings and wedding evening food, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole.

We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can.

  1. Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
  2. You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
  3. We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
  4. We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
  5. When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.

Planning a taco bar in Greater London

There are 157 towns and 87 villages and hamlets in Greater London, and a taco bar can work in a hall in London, City of Westminster and Marylebone or a village garden. Town venues mean planning loading; rural ones mean planning access and ground. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across Greater London, so check venue rules on vehicles, ground and access for countryside events.

London: By road, London is on or near the A2 and A10, so bringing the taco bar and our truck or trailer is straightforward. Parks such as Newington Gardens generally need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. Around midsummer it stays light in London until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.

Diets, allergies and planning

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Tell us when guests should eat
  • Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
  • Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
  • Check where our vehicle can unload

Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.

Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.

Events we cater in Greater London

The bar can go where a vehicle can’t, such as a courtyard, a barn or a hall, with the venue’s agreement.

We can help if you’re planning any of the following:

  • Retirement parties
  • Team socials
  • Christenings and family parties
  • Wedding meals

How we price taco bar hire

We quote for your event, which reflects:

  • Staff for serving and the bar
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • The menu you choose
  • Whether you need disposables

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 we need to know

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • What power and water the site has
  • The date and rough timings

Organising for someone else?

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

Can I do a taco night myself?

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Common questions in Greater London

Is the food made fresh?

We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

When should we book?

The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

Do you take everything away?

We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.

Can you cater in a back garden?

Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

What do you need at the venue?

Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we’ll confirm what’s needed. We also need the venue’s permission.

Is a taco bar right for a wedding?

It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue, and guests build their own plates.
