About our taco bar hire in Herne Hill
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. For leaving dos and family get-togethers, we can serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
From an office courtyard to a hired room, a taco bar in Herne Hill needs space for a table and a queue. Let us know about the loading point and any stairs, lifts or narrow doorways, as London parking takes planning. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Why choose taco bar hire in Herne Hill?
Guests on special diets do not need a separate meal, since corn tortillas and vegan fillings sit with everything else.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. In Herne Hill, you could book us for events such as:
- Barn parties
- Birthday parties
- Company parties
- Family get-togethers
By road, Herne Hill is on or near the A204 and A2214, so bringing the taco bar and our truck or trailer is straightforward.

Questions from Herne Hill
Which station is closest to Herne Hill?
North Dulwich station, in Herne Hill itself.
We are having a ceremony at Saint Faith's: 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’ll check the access.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the bar to suit.
How does a taco bar work?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We do not publish set prices, as each booking is different. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
In Herne Hill, 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 will advise.
What we offer
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.

What else we do in Herne Hill
How it compares
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Book food, drinks or both
- Allergen-aware menus
- Menus chosen with you
A closer look at the menu
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
