About our taco bar hire in Temple Bar
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. It works well for evening receptions and engagement parties, with fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings.
In a London neighbourhood like Temple Bar, a taco bar is handy when the truck can’t reach the garden or the room. Our staff set up a serving station on a table, and guests build their own tacos. We still need to park and unload close by, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Count children separately
After the last plate, we take the bar down.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Temple Bar questions
Can you set up a taco bar where your truck can’t park in Temple Bar?
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.
Is it possible to have you in Lincoln's Inn Fields?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
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, and we will keep their options separate.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. Service is timed around speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Taco bar hire or something else?
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What you get with us
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Book food, drinks or both
- A quote that sets out what’s included
See how we price and our guide to catering costs.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
In Temple Bar, 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.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
What we offer
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
