Taco bar hire in Upper Norwood
Taco bar hire in Upper Norwood, served fresh
Fillings are agreed with you, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. We serve warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and fresh salsas, and it suits birthday celebrations and company parties.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Upper Norwood 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 the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Common questions in Upper Norwood
Could the taco bar go somewhere in Upper Norwood that the truck can’t reach?
Yes, with the venue’s agreement: our staff set up the station where your guests are. We still need to park and unload nearby, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Long Meadow?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.

Where the truck can go in Upper Norwood
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
In Upper Norwood, 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
