About our taco bar hire in West Hackney
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. At evening receptions and family celebrations, we can serve warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings.
In West Hackney, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. The station can go where the truck can’t, as long as the venue agrees, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. A December taco bar in West Hackney will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Count children separately
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point, quoted for your event.

How it compares
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Where the truck can go in West Hackney
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
In West Hackney, 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Menu ideas
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
