Taco bar hire in Lissenden Gardens

How our taco bar hire works in Lissenden Gardens

Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. On the menu are pickled onions and toppings, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it’s a good fit for office lunches and birthday celebrations.

Around Lissenden Gardens, a taco bar suits venues and gardens that a food truck can’t get into. Our staff set up a serving station on a table, and guests build their own tacos. We still need to park and unload close by, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension. Like all of Greater London, Lissenden Gardens is inside the ULEZ. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Can I do a taco night myself?

Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

What affects the price in Lissenden Gardens

Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Guest numbers
  • Travel, parking and access
  • Plates, napkins and cutlery
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

Details that help

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • Where the event is
  • The date and time of the event
  • What you’d like on the menu
  • How we drive in and where we can park

To get a price, just tell us about it on our contact page. Give us the details of your event, and we will put together a menu and price.

What we need at the venue

Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:

  • Easy access from where we unload to the table
  • The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
  • A flat spot for the taco-bar station

FAQs for Lissenden Gardens

Is it possible to have you in Parliament Hill?

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.

What about parking in Lissenden Gardens?

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.

Is the food suitable for children?

Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.

How spicy is the food?

We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.

Do you do a taco bar?

Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.

What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?

The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.

Do you cook on site?

We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.

Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?

Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.

Perfect for your event in Lissenden Gardens

Guests on special diets don’t need a separate meal.

These are some of the occasions we serve around Lissenden Gardens:

  • Working lunches
  • Birthday celebrations
  • Barn parties

Choosing a Mexican caterer

Organising for someone else?

For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?

A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

How the day works

A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. From late May to late September, sunset in Lissenden Gardens moves from about 8:55pm to 7:05pm. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.

  1. Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
  2. You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
  3. Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
  4. We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
  5. Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
