Taco bar hire in South Bermondsey, from our truck or trailer
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. We serve burrito bowls, pickled onions and toppings and a build-your-own taco bar, and it’s a good fit for office lunches and summer garden parties.
Around South Bermondsey, a taco bar suits venues and gardens that a food truck can’t get into. We set up a station staffed by our team, where guests build their own tacos. We still have to unload nearby, so let us know about loading, permits and parking. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Fit the bar into your running order

Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up, then load our vehicle.

A closer look at the menu
Salsas
A row of salsas, mild to hot, made for your event.
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- What power and water the site has
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
In South Bermondsey, 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 will advise.
What we offer
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole

Step by step
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Around midsummer it stays light in South Bermondsey until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

FAQs for South Bermondsey

Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.

Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.

The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We agree the timings with your venue, and guests build their own plates.
