Taco bar hire for your event in London
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. It works well for birthday parties and engagement parties, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
There is a wide choice of venues in London, and a build-your-own taco bar can stand beside the truck or on its own. The station needs a level surface and space for a queue, plus somewhere close by to unload. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Count children separately
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
How it compares
Next to a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- A clear quote
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- We cover London and the whole of Greater London

Perfect for your event in London
The bar can go where a vehicle can’t, such as a courtyard, a barn or a hall, with the venue’s agreement.
Here are some of the events we cater:
- Wedding day food
- Working lunches
- Back-garden gatherings
- Christenings and family parties
By road, London is on or near the A2 and A10, so bringing the taco bar and our food truck or trailer is straightforward.

London questions
We are having a ceremony at St George the Martyr: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station is closest to London?
London has its own station: Elephant & Castle station.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle can’t reach. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
We run the station ourselves, so you do not need helpers. When service ends, we clear it away.
Planning a taco bar in London
London is in Greater London. Across the CR0 area, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there’s access. London is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
Thinking of a taco bar in Newington Gardens? Catering in a public park typically needs the landowner’s permission, so check first. Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Elephant & Castle station is in London itself.
For taco bar hire in CR0, E14, CR4 and SW11, we plan around your venue and the route in. We can cater an event on streets such as Walcot Square, Surrey Square and Sutherland Square. With the A2 and A10 close by, London is simple for us to get to. If your venue is just outside London, we also cover Walworth (1 mile south), Bermondsey (1 mile east), Camberwell (2 miles south), South Bermondsey (2 miles south-east) and Surrey Canal (2 miles south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as City of Westminster (3 miles west), Marylebone (3 miles north-west), Kensington (5 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hampstead (5 miles north-west) and Ruislip (14 miles west). London is among the bigger towns we cover in Greater London, with lots of choice for events.
Well-known places in the area include Gabriel's Wharf (0.8 miles north-west) and Museum of Life Sciences (within half a mile north-east). Not far away are Bellenden Road Nature Garden and St. James's Park Lake.
- Schools near London include London School of Musical Theatre (within half a mile west) and Ark Globe Academy (within half a mile south)
- Pubs nearby include Trinity Arms Public House (within half a mile south-east)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include The BFI Reuben Library (1 mile north-west) and County of London (1.1 miles north)
The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. In London, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs 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
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
Getting a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
