We serve in 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
No room for the truck at home? A hall or club near Bishopsgate with parking close by could host the taco bar. Around Bishopsgate, historic houses include Mansion House (within half a mile south-west) and Dr Johnson's House (1.1 miles west).

This part of Greater London takes in E1, EC2A and EC1Y, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Streets in the area include Bush Lane, Swan Lane and Love Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

About our taco bar hire in Bishopsgate
We bring taco bars to events in and around Bishopsgate: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces. On the menu are pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole, and it suits marquee parties and evening wedding receptions.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Bishopsgate 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

FAQs for Bishopsgate
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Ethelburga?
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’ll check the access.
Could you serve in Finsbury Circus?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Is a taco bar right for a 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.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Why choose taco bar hire in Bishopsgate?
It gets people talking: people chat about salsas and fillings while they build.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Back-garden gatherings
- Retirement parties
- Barn and marquee parties
- Working lunches
Parks such as Finsbury Circus typically need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- If the price includes VAT
- Travel and parking costs
- The wet-weather plan
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
What’s on the menu
Toppings
Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Warm tortillas
Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We keep a steady supply going through service.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Daylight in Bishopsgate runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.

How it compares
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
