Taco bar hire in Cockfosters, served fresh
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. Popular choices include warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it’s a good fit for garden parties and family celebrations.
In a London neighbourhood like Cockfosters, a taco bar is handy when the truck cannot reach the garden or the room. We set up a station staffed by our team, where guests build their own tacos. We still need to park and unload close by, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Planning an evening taco bar in Cockfosters? Sunset is around 8:55pm 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.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
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.

Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
As a London location, Cockfosters is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Menu ideas
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.

FAQs for Cockfosters
Which station is closest to Cockfosters?
Guests can use New Barnet station, about 0.8 miles west of Cockfosters.
What about parking in Cockfosters?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
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.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
How it compares
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
