Castle Green questions
Which station is closest to Castle Green?
Guests can use Barking Riverside station, about 1 mile south of Castle Green.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John the Divine?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is the taco bar staffed?
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.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. We agree the timings with your venue.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
How does taco bar hire work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Taco bar hire in Castle Green, served fresh
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. It works well for engagement parties and summer garden parties, serving guacamole, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings.
From an office courtyard to a hired room, a taco bar in Castle Green needs space for a table and a queue. Tell us where we can stop to unload, and about stairs, lifts or narrow doors. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

What affects the price in Castle Green
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Travel, parking and access
- Food, drinks or both
- How many staff you need
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your menu ideas
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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 will do the serving.
What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Details of power and water near the bar
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
London streets around Castle Green 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.
