How our taco bar hire works in Seven Dials
The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. Popular choices include slow-cooked fillings kept hot, guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits retirement parties and evening wedding receptions.
Around Seven Dials, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. If the truck can’t reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Send us allergy details in writing
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
