About our taco bar hire in Clerkenwell
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. Popular choices include burrito bowls, guacamole and pickled onions and toppings, and it suits wedding meals and barn parties.
In Clerkenwell, all a taco bar needs is room for the station and space for guests to queue. Tell us where we can stop to unload, and about stairs, lifts or narrow doors. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Taco bars for events around Clerkenwell
Clerkenwell is about 2 miles north of London, in Greater London. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Clerkenwell and nearby villages. Clerkenwell is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Historic houses near Clerkenwell include Dr Johnson's House (0.8 miles south) and Mansion House (1.1 miles south-east). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking. Before you plan a taco bar in King Square Gardens, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement.

Diets, allergies and planning

We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. In Clerkenwell, 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 is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Events we cater in Clerkenwell
Everyone builds a plate that suits them, which cuts down on special orders.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We are happy to cater:

What your quote should include
- The deadline for final numbers
- Space, access, power and water needs
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- How bad weather is handled
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
In Clerkenwell, 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’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Clerkenwell
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Why choose taco bar hire in Clerkenwell?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.

- What’s on the menu
- Whether you need disposables

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of where we’d park
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The venue or postcode
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Questions from Clerkenwell
Can you cater a reception after a service at St James's 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.
Could you serve in King Square Gardens?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What space does a taco bar need?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
