Taco bar hire in Farringdon, from our food truck or trailer
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. At summer garden parties and wedding breakfasts, we will put together a menu of slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Farringdon, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Where the truck can go in Farringdon
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- Room for guests to queue along the table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
What we offer
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Occasions we cater for in Farringdon
A taco bar feeds a crowd steadily, which suits a wedding breakfast or a lunch break.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:

- Barn and marquee parties
- Team socials
- Family get-togethers
When the service is at a church such as Church of All Saints, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.

Farringdon: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
How far is Farringdon from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater in Farringdon?
We do. We serve at events in Farringdon and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What does a taco bar cost?
We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Share your plans and you will get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
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 check every dish and give allergen information.
The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. In Farringdon, 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 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
How to get a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

- Count children separately
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
