Taco bar hire in Upper Clapton
How we price taco bar hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Timings and hours
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What the venue already provides
- The number of people
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The date and rough timings
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
It is 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.
How our taco bar hire works in Upper Clapton
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. For garden parties and barn parties, we can serve guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas and more.
In Upper Clapton, 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

How it compares
Next to a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we offer in Upper Clapton
- Everything served fresh from the hatch

Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. A December taco bar in Upper Clapton will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Upper Clapton questions
Could you serve in Springfield Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What about parking in Upper Clapton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
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.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. We fit it around your speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
