Taco bar hire for your event in Rotherhithe
Our taco bar travels to events across Rotherhithe and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there is room for the table. On the menu are pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole, and it is a good fit for barn and marquee parties and christenings and family parties.
In Rotherhithe, all a taco bar needs is room for the station and space for guests to queue. Tell us where we can stop to unload, and about stairs, lifts or narrow doors. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Rotherhithe: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Rotherhithe for guests?
Guests can use Canada Water station, which is right in Rotherhithe.
Could the taco bar go somewhere in Rotherhithe that the truck cannot reach?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer doesn’t have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle can’t reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. We agree the timings with your venue, and guests build their own plates.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What affects the price in Rotherhithe
Contact us for a quote, and the price is based on:
- Travel, parking and access

- How many guests we’re serving
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- What you’d like on the menu
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.

Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
In Rotherhithe, 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’ll advise before booking.
What we offer
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Pizza is the usual crowd-pleaser, but a taco bar gives guests more say over what they eat. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
