About our taco bar hire in St Johns
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. Popular choices include guacamole, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls, which works well for family celebrations and retirement parties.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in St Johns 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

What taco bar hire costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Guest numbers
- What the venue already provides
- How long we’re needed on site
- What’s on the menu
Pricing depends on the event. 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
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and rough timings
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The address or venue name
Send us the date, your venue or SE13 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In St Johns, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Let us know the timings for the day
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Your questions about taco bar hire in St Johns
Which station is closest to St Johns?
St Johns station, in St Johns itself.
Could the taco bar go somewhere in St Johns 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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you cater in St Johns?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including St Johns. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
London streets around St Johns 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.
