Taco bar hire in Petersham, served fresh
Toppings make the bar: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, depending on the menu you choose. It works well for engagement parties and team lunches, serving pickled onions and toppings, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
From an office courtyard to a hired room, a taco bar in Petersham needs space for a table and a queue. Tell us where we can stop to unload, and about stairs, lifts or narrow doors, as London parking takes planning. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Petersham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, 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.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
London streets around Petersham can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions about fillings and allergens.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

For event organisers in Petersham
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Comparing your options
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Petersham questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Peter's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Which station is closest to Petersham?
Guests can use St Margarets (London) station, about 0.9 miles north-west of Petersham.
Is the taco bar staffed?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes through service.
What should the venue provide?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
