Taco bar hire in Oval, from our food truck or trailer
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and burrito bowls, which works well for marquee parties and team socials.
From an office courtyard to a hired room, a taco bar in Oval needs space for a table and a queue. Let us know about the loading point and any stairs, lifts or narrow doorways, as London parking takes planning. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Oval questions
Is it possible to have you in Vauxhall Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to Oval for guests?
Oval has its own station: Vauxhall station.
How does a taco bar work?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
Do you cater in Oval?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Oval is within our area. To check your date, tell us about it on our contact page.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Count children separately
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
Why choose taco bar hire in Oval?

A build-your-own taco bar in Oval
Oval is about 1 mile north of Stockwell, in Greater London. From the centre of Oval to the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Oval is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover.
The A203 and A3204 run on or near Oval, which makes the journey with the taco bar an easy one. If your garden is hard to reach, a hired hall or club around Oval could take the taco bar instead.
Anywhere in SW8, SW9 and SW1P, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Lett Road, Rita Road and Wyvil Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Being close to the A203 and A3204, Oval is simple for us to get to. For events just outside Oval, we cover Kennington (1 mile north), South Lambeth (1 mile south-west), Little Portugal (1 mile south), North Brixton (1 mile south-east) and Vauxhall (1 mile north). We also cater in nearby towns such as City of Westminster (3 miles north-west), Marylebone (3 miles north-west), Kensington (4 miles west), St Pancras (3 miles north), Shoreditch (4 miles north-east) and Walthamstow (8 miles north-east).
A little further out are The Gordon Hospital (1 mile north-west) and Gabriel's Wharf (1.9 miles north). The countryside around Oval includes Bellenden Road Nature Garden and Ludgate Hill.
- Local schools include Archbishop Tenison's Church of England School (under half a mile north-east) and St Peter's School (less than half a mile north)
- Local pubs include Crown and Thistle pub (less than half a mile south-west)
- Local facilities include Lambeth Palace Library (1.1 miles north) and City and Liberty of Westminster (1.3 miles north)
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. In Oval, 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.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
