Taco bar hire for Blackfriars events
Taco bar hire for your event in Blackfriars
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too, with licensing checked with you. It works well for wedding breakfasts and garden parties, with guacamole, warm corn and flour tortillas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a London neighbourhood like Blackfriars, a taco bar is handy when the truck cannot reach the garden or the room. Our staff set up a serving station on a table, and guests build their own tacos. We still have to unload nearby, so let us know about loading, permits and parking. Like all of Greater London, Blackfriars is inside the ULEZ. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

What taco bar hire costs
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need disposables
There’s 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.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Expected numbers
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
As a London location, Blackfriars is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.

Questions from Blackfriars
Which station should guests use for Blackfriars?
Guests can use London Blackfriars station, which is right in Blackfriars.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Bernie Spain Gardens?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the bar around them.
Who looks after the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you don’t need helpers. When service ends, we clear it away.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
