Taco bar hire in Elephant and Castle, served fresh
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too, with licensing checked with you. We serve pickled onions and toppings, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for company parties and working lunches.
Around Elephant and Castle, a taco bar suits venues and gardens that a food truck cannot get into. 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. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Who books taco bar hire in Elephant and Castle?
The bar can go where a vehicle cannot, such as a courtyard, a barn or a hall, with the venue’s agreement.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. In Elephant and Castle, you could book us for occasions like:
- Wedding day food
- Birthday celebrations
- Family get-togethers
- Engagement and anniversary parties
Parks such as Newington Gardens usually need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan.
Before you book anyone
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- Staff numbers and hours
- If the price includes VAT
- The deadline for final numbers
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Send us allergy details in writing
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
FAQs for Elephant and Castle
Could you serve in Newington Gardens?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Our venue in Elephant and Castle has no vehicle access: can we still have a taco bar?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer does not have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.
What space does a taco bar need?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.

No taco bar is complete without guacamole, so we keep it topped up.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
In Elephant and Castle, 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
