About our taco bar hire in Highbury
We bring taco bars to events in and around Highbury: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there’s room for the table. On the menu are warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and a build-your-own taco bar, and it is a good fit for christenings and family parties and team socials.
In Highbury, 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, as London parking takes planning. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. From late May to late September, sunset in Highbury moves from about 8:50pm to 7:05pm. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
Ask for a quote
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
