Taco bar hire for your event in Stepney
Our taco bar travels to events across Stepney and the surrounding area: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces. It works well for engagement and anniversary parties and company parties, with fresh salsas, pickled onions and toppings and warm corn and flour tortillas.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Stepney 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. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
In Stepney, 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 before you book.

Stepney questions
Can you set up a taco bar where your truck cannot park in Stepney?
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 Stepney for guests?
Guests can use Whitechapel station, which is right in Stepney.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How does a taco bar work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
What does a taco bar cost?
We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We agree the timings with your venue.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
Do you cater in Stepney?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Stepney and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Count children separately
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Put allergies in writing for us
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. 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.
