Taco bar hire for your event in Pentonville
Toppings make the bar: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, depending on the menu you choose. It works well for birthday celebrations and barn parties, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and guacamole.
In a London neighbourhood like Pentonville, a taco bar is handy when the truck can’t reach the garden or the room. 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. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

FAQs for Pentonville
Is parking a problem for events in Pentonville?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Could the taco bar go somewhere in Pentonville that the truck can’t reach?
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.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Who books taco bar hire in Pentonville?
The bar can go where a vehicle cannot, like a barn, courtyard or hall, if the venue agrees.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. In Pentonville, you could book us for events such as:
- Birthday parties
- Engagement parties
- Evening wedding receptions
- Christenings and family parties
When the service is at a church such as Church of Saint Peter, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

What affects the price in Pentonville
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The menu you choose
- What the venue already provides
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
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. Winter evenings in Pentonville close in by about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
