Taco bar hire in Silvertown: local tips
Silvertown is about 1 mile south of Canning Town, in Greater London. For taco bar hire in Silvertown, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Silvertown. Silvertown is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we can bring taco bar hire.
Around Silvertown, historic houses include Queen's House (1.9 miles south-west) and Eltham Palace (3.7 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. Before you plan a taco bar in Thames Barrier Park, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement.
Taco bar hire in E16, SE10 and SE7 is planned around your venue and access. From Booth Road, Thames Road and Knights Road or anywhere nearby, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access. Close by, we cover events in West Silvertown (1 mile north-west), Custom House (1 mile north), Royal Docks (1 mile north-east), Canning Town (1 mile north) and Limmo Peninsula (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include London (5 miles west), City of Westminster (8 miles west), Marylebone (8 miles west), Kensington (10 miles west), St Pancras (7 miles west) and Shoreditch (5 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Albert Dock Seamen's Hospital (0.9 miles north) and East Ham (2.5 miles north-east). Not far away are Tower Hill and Gilbert's Pit.
- Schools near Silvertown include Royal Greenwich Trust School (0.8 miles south-east) and The Royal Docks Community School (0.8 miles north)
- Pubs nearby include Anchor & Hope pub (within half a mile south)
Taco bar hire in Silvertown, served fresh
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. For wedding breakfasts and christenings and family parties, we’ll put together a menu of slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar.
In Silvertown, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. A taco bar station can be set up away from the truck, with the venue’s agreement, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm any allergies to us by email

If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.

Common questions in Silvertown
Which station should guests use for Silvertown?
Custom House station, about 0.7 miles north of the centre.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Thames Barrier Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests build their own tacos. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. Daylight in Silvertown runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Ask the venue about power and water

Planning the serving area
We will be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- Details of power and water near the bar
In Silvertown, 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.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we offer
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
What’s on the menu
Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, perhaps chicken tinga, birria or carnitas.
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How it compares
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
