For event organisers in Barnes
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
In Barnes, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
On the menu in Barnes
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
Comparing your options
Pizza is a safe choice, but a taco bar gives guests more say over what they eat. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

Common questions in Barnes
Could the taco bar go somewhere in Barnes 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.
We are having a ceremony at Barnes Methodist Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. We fit it around your speeches and photos. There’s more in our taco bar guide.
Do you come to Barnes?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Barnes is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.
What space does a taco bar need?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
