Taco bar hire in Clapham Junction, from our truck or trailer
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. It works well for wedding breakfasts and family celebrations, serving guacamole, burrito bowls and warm corn and flour tortillas.
From an office courtyard to a hired room, a taco bar in Clapham Junction needs space for a table and a queue. Tell us where we can stop to unload, and about stairs, lifts or narrow doors. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How it compares
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we offer in Clapham Junction
- Menus for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
- Set-up planned with you and your venue

Questions from Clapham Junction
Can you set up a taco bar where your truck can’t park in Clapham Junction?
Usually, 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.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Clapham Welsh Presbyterian Church?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
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.
Who looks after the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you do not need helpers. When service ends, we clear it away.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you cater in Clapham Junction?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Clapham Junction and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- Details of power and water near the bar
In Clapham Junction, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
What we offer
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In Clapham Junction, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Give us your final numbers and diets
