Taco bar hire in Paddington, served fresh
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. Popular choices include fresh salsas, warm corn and flour tortillas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits leaving and retirement parties and family celebrations.
Around Paddington, a taco bar suits venues and gardens that a food truck cannot get into. Our staff set up a serving station on a table, and guests build their own tacos. We still have to unload nearby, so let us know about loading, permits and parking. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. You’ll know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Planning a taco bar in Paddington
Paddington is about 1 mile west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Anywhere in W2, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. We cater in all 764 towns and villages across Greater London.
If people are travelling in by rail, London Paddington station is in Paddington itself. Thinking of a taco bar in Royal Parks of London? Catering in a public park normally needs the landowner’s permission, so check first.
Here we cover the W2, W1H and W1U postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Streets in the area include Harrow Road, Craven Road and Harbet Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Paddington sits on or near the A5 and A40, which makes travel to your event easy. If your venue is just outside Paddington, we also cover Paddington Green (1 mile north-west), Hyde Park Estate (1 mile south-east), Connaught Village (1 mile south-east), Tyburn (1 mile south-east) and Little Venice (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include London (4 miles east), Shoreditch (4 miles east), Walthamstow (8 miles north-east), Hoxton (4 miles east), Whitechapel (4 miles east) and Ruislip (11 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Ladbroke Estate (1.5 miles west) and Montfichet's Tower (3.1 miles east). The countryside around Paddington includes Greville Place nature reserve and The Long Water.
- Schools near Paddington include Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School (within half a mile east) and North Westminster Community School (within half a mile north-east)
- Pubs nearby include Fountains Abbey pub (under half a mile south)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Royal Society of Medicine Library (1.1 miles east)
What we need at the venue
We will be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
In Paddington, 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 booking.
Menu ideas
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
How we price taco bar hire
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Timings and hours
- Staff for serving and the bar
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What you’d like on the menu
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you’re ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
