About our taco bar hire in Hornsey
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. It suits company parties and retirement parties, with warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In Hornsey, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. The station can go where the truck can’t, as long as the venue agrees, and the route from our parking spot to the station needs to be clear. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Hornsey: your questions answered
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Priory Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of Holy Innocents: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.

What’s on the menu
Toppings
Lime, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema.
Salsas
Fresh salsas, from a mild tomato salsa to something hotter, made for your event.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.
Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
