Your questions about taco bar hire in Burnt Oak

Which station is closest to Burnt Oak?

Mill Hill Broadway station, about 0.5 miles north-east of the centre.

Could the taco bar go somewhere in Burnt Oak that the truck cannot reach?

Normally, if the venue agrees to a staffed station. We still need somewhere close by to unload, and in London that may mean a loading bay or a parking suspension.

Can you cater for children?

Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.

How spicy is the food?

The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.

Do you come to Burnt Oak?

Yes, we do. Burnt Oak is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Do you have dairy-free options?

Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.

When do you arrive?

We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.

How our taco bar hire works in Burnt Oak

A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and burrito bowls, which works well for family get-togethers and team lunches.

In a London neighbourhood like Burnt Oak, 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. Like all of Greater London, Burnt Oak is inside the ULEZ. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

  • Decide where the table goes before the day
  • Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day

We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
