Planning an event in Hackney?
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- Room for guests to queue along the table
London streets around Hackney can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Menu ideas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
Taco bar hire for your event in Hackney
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. It works well for family celebrations and team lunches, serving fresh salsas, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Hackney 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 the route from our parking spot to the station needs to be clear. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

For event organisers in Hackney
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Organising a club, school or community event in Hackney? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
What affects the price in Hackney
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Timings and hours
- Travel, parking and access
- The menu you choose
- Serving staff
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Your menu ideas
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
To get a price, just tell us about it on our contact page. Tell us about your event in Hackney, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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, with allergen information for every dish.
The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. In Hackney, 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. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Hackney questions
Where would you park in Hackney?
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 should guests use for Hackney?
Hackney has its own station: Homerton station.
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.
What should the venue provide?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we’ll confirm what’s needed. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
