Common questions in London Docklands
Could you serve in Sir John McDougall Gardens?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Our venue in London Docklands 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.
Do you come to London Docklands?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including London Docklands. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
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 have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.

- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
How it compares
Pizza is a safe choice, but a taco bar lets every guest design their own plate. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Why us?
- We cover London Docklands and the whole of Greater London
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
