How our taco bar hire works in Friern Barnet
Our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the taco bar around them. It suits working lunches and wedding meals, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Friern Barnet have no vehicle access to the room. A taco bar station can be set up away from the truck, with the venue’s agreement, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Friern Barnet: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Friary Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Our venue in Friern Barnet has no vehicle access: can we still have a taco bar?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer doesn’t have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. Service is timed around speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.

Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
