Taco bar hire for Ladywell events
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Set out seating near the bar
After the last plate, we take the bar down, then load our vehicle.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
Taco bar hire in Ladywell, from our truck or trailer
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. Popular choices include pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits working lunches and evening receptions.
In Ladywell, 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 the route from our parking spot to the station needs to be clear. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Ladywell: your questions answered
Could the taco bar go somewhere in Ladywell that the truck cannot reach?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer does not have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.
Where would you park in Ladywell?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle can’t reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in Ladywell until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
