Taco bar hire in Charing Cross, served fresh
Fillings are agreed with you, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. At leaving dos and team lunches, we can serve guacamole, warm corn and flour tortillas and burrito bowls for your guests.
In Charing Cross, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. A taco bar station can be set up away from the truck, with the venue’s agreement, and the route from our parking spot to the station needs to be clear. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Set out seating near the bar
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
After the last plate, we take the bar down.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

Where the truck can go in Charing Cross
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
In Charing Cross, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings

Questions from Charing Cross
Could the taco bar go somewhere in Charing Cross that the truck can’t reach?
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.
What about parking in Charing Cross?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all 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.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
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.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the bar around them.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Taco bar hire or something else?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
