What taco bar hire costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Food, drinks or both
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
- The menu you choose
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- What power and water the site has
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many adults and children
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Taco bar hire in St John's Wood, served fresh
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. At milestone birthdays and marquee parties, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Around St John's Wood, a taco bar suits venues and gardens that a food truck cannot get into. Our staff set up a serving station on a table, and guests build their own tacos. We still have to unload nearby, so let us know about loading, permits and parking. Like all of Greater London, St John's Wood is inside the ULEZ. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Around St John's Wood, historic houses include Winfield House (0.6 miles south-east) and Keats House (1.4 miles north).

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Set out seating near the bar
After the last plate, we take the bar down.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.

Common questions in St John's Wood
What about parking in St John's Wood?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Souls?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Comparing your options
Buffet trays can go cold and tired. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
