About our taco bar hire in Chalk Farm

The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. Popular choices include burrito bowls, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for back-garden gatherings and christenings and family parties.

Around Chalk Farm, a taco bar suits venues and gardens that a food truck cannot get into. Our staff set up a serving station on a table, and 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, Chalk Farm is inside the ULEZ. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

How it works

A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Winter evenings in Chalk Farm close in by about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.

  1. Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
  2. We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
  3. Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
  4. On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
  5. Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.

How to prepare

  • Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
  • Find out what power and water are available
  • Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

How to get a price

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

How to compare caterers

Before you choose a spot

Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
  • A clear area in front of the station
  • Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload

Chalk Farm is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Popular choices

  • Tortilla chips
  • Corn and flour tortillas
  • Two to four fillings
  • Salsas and guacamole
  • Pickled onions and toppings
  • Vegan fillings

Your questions about taco bar hire in Chalk Farm

Could the taco bar go somewhere in Chalk Farm that the truck can’t reach?

Typically, 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.

We’re having a ceremony at St Silas Church: can you cater afterwards?

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.

What if the weather’s bad?

We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

Do you cook on site?

We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.

Which areas do you serve?

We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.

How much is a food truck for an event?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.

Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?

Is taco bar hire right for your event?

For planners, venues and organisers

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

Can I do a taco night myself?

Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Diets, allergies and planning

We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Put allergies in writing for us
  • Ask the venue where we can park to unload
  • Fit the bar into your running order
  • Set out seating near the bar

Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.

Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.

  • Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
