Taco bar hire in Blackwall
How our taco bar hire works in Blackwall
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls, and it’s a good fit for office lunches and family get-togethers.
In a London neighbourhood like Blackwall, a taco bar is handy when the truck can’t reach the garden or the room. We set up a station staffed by our team, where guests build their own tacos. We still have to unload nearby, so let us know about loading, permits and parking. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Blackwall: venues, access and set-up
Blackwall is about 1 mile south-west of Canning Town, in Greater London. Whether your event is in the middle of Blackwall or on the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Blackwall is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring taco bar hire.
Thinking of a taco bar in Bow Creek Ecology Park? Catering in a public park typically needs the landowner’s permission, so check first. Around Blackwall, historic houses include Queen's House (1.7 miles south) and Sutton House (3.5 miles north-west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off.
We cover events in every part of E14, SE10 and E16. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Nutmeg Lane, Athol Square and Leamouth Road or the roads around them. Blackwall is on the A102 and A1206, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. Close by, we cover events in Coldharbour (1 mile south-west), Leamouth (1 mile north-east), Limmo Peninsula (1 mile north-east), Poplar (1 mile west) and London Docklands (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (4 miles west), City of Westminster (6 miles west), Marylebone (6 miles west), Kensington (9 miles west), St Pancras (5 miles west) and Shoreditch (3 miles north-west).

Taco bar hire or something else?
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

For event organisers in Blackwall
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Details of power and water near the bar
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
London streets around Blackwall can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
What we offer
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
How it works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In Blackwall, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Ask the venue about power and water

Where would you park in Blackwall?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you set up a taco bar where your truck cannot park in Blackwall?
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.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you do not need helpers. When service ends, we clear it away.

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.

The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
