How our taco bar hire works in Picketts Lock
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too, with licensing checked with you. It suits anniversary parties and birthday celebrations, with guacamole, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a London neighbourhood like Picketts Lock, a taco bar is handy when the truck cannot 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. Like all of Greater London, Picketts Lock is inside the ULEZ.

Questions from Picketts Lock
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints' Church?

Which station should guests use for Picketts Lock?
Guests can use Ponders End station, about 1.2 miles north of Picketts Lock.

Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
