Around Riddlesdown, a taco bar suits venues and gardens that a food truck can’t 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. Like all of Greater London, Riddlesdown is inside the ULEZ.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
