For planners, venues and organisers

For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.

How our taco bar hire works in South Bank

A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. We serve warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits birthday celebrations and retirement parties.

London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in South Bank have no vehicle access to the room. 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 turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Before you choose a spot

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:

  • Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
  • Room for guests to queue along the table
  • Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle

London streets around South Bank can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Popular choices

  • Two to four fillings
  • Tortilla chips
  • Salsas and guacamole
  • Vegan fillings
  • Pickled onions and toppings
  • Corn and flour tortillas

Common questions in South Bank

Can you set up a taco bar where your truck cannot park in South Bank?

Yes, with the venue’s agreement: our staff set up the station where your guests are. We still need somewhere close by to unload, and in London that may mean a loading bay or a parking suspension.

Which station is closest to South Bank?

London Waterloo station, in South Bank itself.

How much does taco bar hire cost?

There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you will get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.

Do you take everything away?

We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.

What areas do you cover?

We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.

Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?

We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.

Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?

Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the bar around them.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

How it works

The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Winter evenings in South Bank close in by about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.

  1. Begin with the date and headcount.
  2. We agree a menu that covers every diet.
  3. We fix timings with you and the venue.
  4. Service starts when your running order says.
  5. We clear our station when service ends.

How to prepare

  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Measure any gates or arches on the way in
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
