Taco bar hire for Merton Abbey events
Taco bar hire in Merton Abbey, served fresh
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. We serve guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas, which works well for marquee parties and engagement parties.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Merton Abbey have no vehicle access to the room. 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. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

For event organisers in Merton Abbey

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Why choose taco bar hire in Merton Abbey?
Pizza is a safe choice, but a taco bar lets every guest design their own plate. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
In Merton Abbey, 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 before you book.
Popular choices
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole

Common questions in Merton Abbey
Could you serve our guests after a service at Christ Church Colliers Wood?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

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.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you cover Merton Abbey?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Merton Abbey is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can we have a build-your-own 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 space does a taco bar need?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we’ll check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Around midsummer it stays light in Merton Abbey until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.

- We arrive, unload and lay out warm tortillas, fillings and toppings.
- At the end, we take everything away.
