Taco bar hire in Kensington
About our taco bar hire in Kensington
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. For retirement parties and christenings and family parties, we will put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
In Kensington, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. The station can go where the truck cannot, as long as the venue agrees, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Planning a taco bar in Kensington
Kensington is about 5 miles west of London, in Greater London. For taco bar hire in Kensington, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Kensington is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
Guests leaving a church like Church of St Barnabas could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Kensington Olympia station is in Kensington itself.
We cater events across the W11, W8, W14 and SW7 postcode area. Whether your event is on Kensington High Street, Edwardes Square and Somerset Square or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. Kensington is on the A402 and B316, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Holland Park (1 mile north), Notting Hill (1 mile north), Shepherd's Bush (1 mile west), Notting Dale (1 mile north) and White City (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (5 miles east), Marylebone (3 miles north-east), St Pancras (4 miles north-east), Shoreditch (6 miles east), Walthamstow (10 miles north-east) and Hoxton (6 miles north-east). Being one of Greater London’s larger places, Kensington has lots of places to hold an event, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
A little further out are Ladbroke Estate (0.9 miles north) and St Mary Abbot's Hospital (0.5 miles east). The countryside around Kensington includes WWT London Wetland Centre and The Long Water.
- Local schools include Holland Park School (less than half a mile north) and Kensington School (0.5 miles east)
- Pubs nearby include Scarsdale Tavern (within half a mile south-east)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Abdus Salam Library (1 mile east)
What happens on the day
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. In Kensington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Kensington: your questions answered
Our venue in Kensington 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.
Which station should guests use for Kensington?
Kensington has its own station: Kensington Olympia station.
What should the venue provide?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. We confirm power and water when you book.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- Room for guests to queue along the table
In Kensington, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

What taco bar hire costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The length of service
- What the venue already provides
- Distance and access to the venue
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your menu ideas
