Taco bar hire in Canning Town, from our truck or trailer
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. At leaving and retirement parties and wedding day food, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
From an office courtyard to a hired room, a taco bar in Canning Town needs space for a table and a queue. Let us know about the loading point and any stairs, lifts or narrow doorways, as London parking takes planning. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Decide where the table goes before the day
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.

FAQs for Canning Town
Our venue in Canning Town has no vehicle access: can we still have a taco bar?
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.
Could you serve in Keir Hardie Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Canning Town.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Who looks after the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so your hosts do not need to. When service ends, we clear it away.

What we need at the venue

- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
London streets around Canning Town 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.
