Taco bar hire for your event in Hampstead
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. For family get-togethers and birthday celebrations, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, warm corn and flour tortillas and burrito bowls for your guests.
In Hampstead, all a taco bar needs is room for the station and space for guests to queue. Let us know about the loading point and any stairs, lifts or narrow doorways. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

How we price taco bar hire
Contact us for a quote, which reflects:
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
- What the venue already provides
- The number of people
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many adults and children
Send us the date, your venue or NW3 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, send a quick message through our quote form.
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. A December taco bar in Hampstead will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Count children separately
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
About the menu
Guacamole
Freshly made guacamole with lime.
Vegan fillings
Black bean and sweet potato, or spiced mushrooms.

Questions from Hampstead
Where would you park in Hampstead?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
We are having a ceremony at St John-at-Hampstead church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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’ll check the access.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
How does a taco bar work?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
In Hampstead, 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.
On the menu in Hampstead
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning a taco bar in Hampstead
Hampstead is about 3 miles north-west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Tell us where your event in Hampstead will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. Hampstead is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Hampstead has its own station, Finchley Road & Frognal station. Parks such as Kilburn Grange Park normally need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan.
Here we cover the NW3, NW6, NW11 and N2 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Your event could be at a home on Hampstead High Street, New End Square and The Mount Square. Hampstead is on the A1 and A502, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. If your venue is just outside Hampstead, we also cover Greenhill (1 mile north-east), West Hampstead (1 mile west), Fortune Green (1 mile west), Vale of Health (1 mile north) and South Hampstead (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include London (5 miles south-east), City of Westminster (3 miles south-east), Marylebone (3 miles south-east), Kensington (4 miles south), St Pancras (3 miles south-east) and Shoreditch (5 miles south-east). Hampstead is one of the larger places we cover in Greater London, with lots of choice for events.
Nearby you will also find New End Hospital (within half a mile north) and O2 Centre (less than half a mile south). Green spaces nearby include Belsize Wood and The Long Water.
- Local schools include St Anthony's Preparatory School (less than half a mile east) and South Hampstead High School (0.5 miles south)
- Nearby, you’ll find King William IV Public House (under half a mile north-east)
- Local facilities include Frognal and Fitzjohns (within half a mile north-west) and Cecil Sharp House (1.7 miles south-east)
Comparing your options
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
What you get with us
