Taco bar hire for your event in Old Town
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. It suits birthday parties and wedding day food, with guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas.
In Old Town, all a taco bar needs is room for the station and space for guests to queue. Let us know about the loading point and any stairs, lifts or narrow doorways. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

- Food, drinks or both
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The menu you choose
- Timings and hours
There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Diets and allergies you know about
- How we drive in and where we can park
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, send a quick message through our quote form.
Where the truck can go in Old Town
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
In Old Town, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
Your questions about taco bar hire in Old Town
Can you set up a taco bar where your truck can’t park in Old Town?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer does not have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Croydon Minster?
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.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
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.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
What should the venue provide?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Around midsummer it stays light in Old Town until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you are ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
