Taco bar hire in Smithfield: local tips
Smithfield is about 1 mile north of London, in Greater London. For taco bar hire in Smithfield, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Smithfield is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
After a christening or wedding at a church such as St Bartholomew-the-Less, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. The A1 and A4 run on or near Smithfield, which makes the journey with the taco bar an easy one.
This part of Greater London takes in EC1V, EC1P and EC1R, so your event can be anywhere in it. From Oat Lane, Shoe Lane and Long Lane or a nearby road, we will plan where to park and serve. Smithfield is on the A1 and A4, so it is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Close by, we cover events in Farringdon (1 mile north), Blackfriars (1 mile south), Holborn (1 mile west), Temple Bar (1 mile south-west) and Clerkenwell (1 mile north). Further out, we also cater in Kensington (4 miles west), Walthamstow (6 miles north-east), Hampstead (4 miles north-west), Ruislip (14 miles west), Brompton (3 miles south-west) and Stockwell (4 miles south).
A little further out are Postal Museum (less than half a mile south-east) and Finsbury Health Centre (0.5 miles north-west). Not far away are Ludgate Hill and St. James's Park Lake.
- Local schools include St Alban's Church of England Primary School (within half a mile west) and London Nautical School (0.9 miles south)
- Nearby, you’ll find Oriole pub (within half a mile south-west)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Barts Health Archives (less than half a mile south-east) and County of London (0.5 miles south-east)
About our taco bar hire in Smithfield
Our taco bar travels to events across Smithfield and the surrounding area: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there’s room for the table. It works well for barn parties and team lunches, serving burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Smithfield have no vehicle access to the room. The station can go where the truck can’t, as long as the venue agrees, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Questions from Smithfield
Is it possible to have you in Postman's Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Where would you park in Smithfield?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the bar to suit.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
What should the venue provide?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we’ll check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Who books taco bar hire in Smithfield?
It looks generous: bright salsas, fresh guacamole and bowls of toppings in a row.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. In Smithfield, you could book us for events such as:
- Barn and marquee parties
- Summer garden parties
- Family get-togethers
- Evening wedding receptions
Nearby historic houses include Dr Johnson's House (within half a mile south-west) and Mansion House (0.7 miles south-east). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off.

What taco bar hire costs
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Guest numbers
- Food, drinks or both
- Timings and hours

The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children

Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Taco bar hire or something else?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why book with us
- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Allergen information for every dish
- A menu agreed with you
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Around midsummer it stays light in Smithfield until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Ask the venue about power and water

What we need at the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
In Smithfield, 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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Smithfield
