Taco bar hire near Swiss Cottage
Taco bar hire in Swiss Cottage, from our truck or trailer
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. On the menu are pickled onions and toppings, burrito bowls and fresh salsas, which works well for retirement parties and summer garden parties.
Around Swiss Cottage, 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. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions.

How we price taco bar hire
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- How many guests we’re serving
- The menu you choose
- Food, drinks or both
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- A picture of where we’d park
- Expected numbers
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Taco bar hire or something else?
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What you get with us
- A menu built around your guests
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
