About our taco bar hire in Kennington
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It works well for summer garden parties and birthday parties, with fresh salsas, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
In and around Kennington, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. If the truck can’t reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Why choose taco bar hire in Kennington?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What we offer in Kennington
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- A menu built around your guests
- Quoted for your event
- Access, space and power checked in advance
