Taco bar hire near Mottingham
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- Details of power and water near the bar
As a London location, Mottingham is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Taco bar hire for your event in Mottingham
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. It works well for wedding breakfasts and barn parties, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In a London neighbourhood like Mottingham, a taco bar is handy when the truck cannot reach the garden or the room. 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, Mottingham is inside the ULEZ. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

The menu, item by item
Warm tortillas
Tortillas are the base of the bar. We keep a steady supply going through service.
Toppings
Pickled onions, coriander, lime, lettuce and cheese.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How long we’re needed on site
- What the venue already provides
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To get it right:
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.
Questions from Mottingham
Can you cater a reception after a service at Jubilee International Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you set up a taco bar where your truck cannot park in Mottingham?
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 clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How does a taco bar work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and guests build their own tacos. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
