Taco bar hire for your event in Surrey Canal
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. At working lunches and barn and marquee parties, we can serve pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole and more.
In Surrey Canal, all a taco bar needs is room for the station and space for guests to queue. Let us know about the loading point and any stairs, lifts or narrow doorways. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Surrey Canal: venues, access and set-up
Surrey Canal is about 1 mile north-west of New Cross, in Greater London. Give us the address of your event in Surrey Canal, and we will plan the journey and set-up. Surrey Canal is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
With the A200 and A2208 nearby, getting the taco bar to Surrey Canal is simple for us. Historic houses near Surrey Canal include Queen's House (2.1 miles east) and Mansion House (2.5 miles north-west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off.
We serve at events all over SE16, SE15 and SE14. We can cater an event on streets such as Pump Lane, Bush Road and Water Lane or the roads around them. You will find Surrey Canal on the A200 and A2208, so it is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. If your venue is just outside Surrey Canal, we also cover South Bermondsey (1 mile west), Surrey Quays (1 mile north-east), Rotherhithe (1 mile north), Peckham (1 mile south-west) and Deptford (1 mile south-east).

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers

We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
As a London location, Surrey Canal is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we offer
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
Comparing your options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. 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. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
What you get with us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- We cover Surrey Canal and the whole of Greater London
- Service planned around your numbers
- Quoted for your event

Surrey Canal: your questions answered
Can you set up a taco bar where your truck cannot park in Surrey Canal?
Yes, with the venue’s agreement: our staff set up the station where your guests are. We still need somewhere close by to unload, and in London that may mean a loading bay or a parking suspension.
Which station is closest to Surrey Canal?
Guests can use South Bermondsey station, which is right in Surrey Canal.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
What should the venue provide?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we’ll confirm what’s needed. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
