Taco bar hire in East Dulwich, from our food truck or trailer
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. It suits company parties and leaving dos, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In East Dulwich, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. The station can go where the truck can’t, as long as the venue agrees, and the route from our parking spot to the station needs to be clear. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

East Dulwich: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in East Dulwich?
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.
Which station is closest to East Dulwich?
Guests can use East Dulwich station, which is right in East Dulwich.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you do not need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
How we price taco bar hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Serving staff
- The number of people
- The menu you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
In East Dulwich, 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.
On the menu in East Dulwich
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
