How our taco bar hire works in New Cross
Our taco bar travels to events across New Cross and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. It suits garden parties and birthday celebrations, with fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In a London neighbourhood like New Cross, 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. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Questions from New Cross
Can you set up a taco bar where your truck can’t park in New Cross?
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.
Where would you park in New Cross?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the bar around them.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
What happens on the day
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. In New Cross, 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. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Why choose taco bar hire in New Cross?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
