Taco bar hire in Chelsea, from our truck or trailer
We bring taco bars to events in and around Chelsea: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there is room for the table. Popular choices include fresh salsas, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings, which works well for engagement and anniversary parties and marquee parties.
From an office courtyard to a hired room, a taco bar in Chelsea needs space for a table and a queue. Tell us where we can stop to unload, and about stairs, lifts or narrow doors. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Planning an evening taco bar in Chelsea? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.

Chelsea questions
Can you set up a taco bar where your truck can’t park in Chelsea?
Yes, with the venue’s agreement: our staff set up the station where your guests are. We still need somewhere close by to unload, and in London that may mean a loading bay or a parking suspension.
We are having a ceremony at Former Welsh Congregational Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
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.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
What does a taco bar cost?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, our bookings typically fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.
How it compares
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
