Taco bar hire near Finsbury

How our taco bar hire works in Finsbury

Toppings make the bar: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, agreed with you in advance. It suits wedding breakfasts and garden parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, pickled onions and toppings and guacamole.

In Finsbury, 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 we need a short, clear route from where we unload. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

What happens on the day

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. In Finsbury, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.

How to compare caterers

Before you choose a spot

The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:

Details of power and water near the bar
Room for guests to queue along the table
Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar

In Finsbury, 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.

Menu ideas

Corn and flour tortillas
Tortilla chips
Salsas and guacamole
Pickled onions and toppings
Two to four fillings
Vegan fillings

Questions from Finsbury

Could you serve in Artillery Ground?

Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.

Is parking a problem for events in Finsbury?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.

Do you have dairy-free options?

Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.

Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?

It depends on the event and the timings. As a guide, our bookings typically fall around 50 to 400 guests.

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.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.

Can you serve in the rain?

We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.

What does a taco bar cost?

Every taco bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Planning for every diet

A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:

Confirm any allergies to us by email
Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Fit the bar into your running order
Check where our vehicle can unload

If the schedule slips, tell us and we will hold everything hot until you’re ready.

For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.
