Taco bar hire for your event in St James's
We bring taco bars to events in and around St James's: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. At wedding day food and team lunches, we will put together a menu of guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings.
In St James's, 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 cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

St James's: your questions answered
Could the taco bar go somewhere in St James's that the truck cannot reach?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer doesn’t have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.
What’s the nearest station to St James's for guests?
St James's has its own station: London Charing Cross station.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
- Space for a serving table on level ground
In St James's, 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.

- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
