Taco bar hire in Holborn, served fresh
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. It suits evening wedding receptions and family get-togethers, with pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas.
From an office courtyard to a hired room, a taco bar in Holborn needs space for a table and a queue. Tell us where we can stop to unload, and about stairs, lifts or narrow doors. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

What else we do in Holborn
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Decide where the table goes before the day
After the last plate, we take the bar down, then load our vehicle.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we will set out the options in your quote.
Questions from Holborn
What about parking in Holborn?
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.
Our venue in Holborn 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.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Holborn.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each taco bar, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. For a price, use our quote form.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. As a guide, our bookings usually fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Popular choices
Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm so there’s always one ready. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. From late May to late September, sunset in Holborn moves from about 8:50pm to 7:05pm. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and 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.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or WC1X postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send a quick message through our quote form.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Food, drinks or both
- The number of people
- Travel, parking and access
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- How we drive in and where we can park
- What power and water the site has
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
