How our taco bar hire works in Catford
Fillings are agreed with you, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. For engagement parties and company parties, we can serve pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar.
Around Catford, a taco bar suits venues and gardens that a food truck cannot get into. We set up a station staffed by our team, where guests build their own tacos. We still need to park and unload close by, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension. Like all of Greater London, Catford is inside the ULEZ. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Catford questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Forster Memorial Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Where would you park in Catford?
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What do you need at the venue?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Guest numbers
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu ideas
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you are 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.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
