Should I do it myself?

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Taco bar hire in Kennington, from our truck or trailer

You choose the fillings with us, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. It works well for evening wedding receptions and engagement parties, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar.

In Kennington, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. A taco bar station can be set up away from the truck, with the venue’s agreement, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Kennington: your questions answered

Is parking a problem for events in Kennington?

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 Kennington has no vehicle access: can we still have a taco bar?

Generally, if the venue agrees to a staffed station. We still need somewhere close by to unload, and in London that may mean a loading bay or a parking suspension.

Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?

That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, our bookings generally fall around 50 to 400 guests.

Do you need electricity?

Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.

What is a build-your-own taco bar?

A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.

Do you have gluten-free options?

Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

Do you do a taco bar?

Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.

Can you cater for children?

Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
