Taco bar hire for South Kensington events
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
South Kensington is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.

Taco bar hire in South Kensington, served fresh
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. We serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for milestone birthdays and leaving and retirement parties.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in South Kensington 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 the route from our parking spot to the station needs to be clear. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Make sure one filling is vegan
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

FAQs for South Kensington
Which station is closest to South Kensington?
The closest is West Brompton station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Is it possible to have you in Burton’s Court?
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.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.

How the day works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In South Kensington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Tell us about your event and your guests.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
- We arrive, unload and lay out warm tortillas, fillings and toppings.
- Afterwards, we pack down and leave the area tidy.
