Taco bar hire for Covent Garden events
How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in Covent Garden until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

How our taco bar hire works in Covent Garden
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It suits wedding day food and staff parties, with fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In a London neighbourhood like Covent Garden, a taco bar is handy when the truck can’t reach the garden or the room. Our staff set up a serving station on a table, and guests build their own tacos. We still have to unload nearby, so let us know about loading, permits and parking. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
What taco bar hire costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many guests we’re serving
- What the venue already provides
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The address or venue name
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just fill in our quote form.
Comparing your options
For a meal that is hands-on for guests but not for you, a taco bar suits events in Covent Garden well. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What you get with us
- Book food, drinks or both
- A clear quote
- Allergen information for every dish

Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
In Covent Garden, 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’ll advise.
What we offer
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings

Hot fillings
You might choose two or three fillings, with at least one vegan. We agree them with you.
Salsas
A row of salsas, mild to hot.
A build-your-own taco bar in Covent Garden
Covent Garden is about 1 mile east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Give us the address of your event in Covent Garden, and we will plan access and set-up. Covent Garden is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring taco bar hire.
If your garden is hard to reach, a hired hall or club around Covent Garden could take the taco bar instead. After a christening or wedding at a church such as Crown Court Church, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos.
