Taco bar hire near West Silvertown
Taco bar hire in West Silvertown, from our food truck or trailer
The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. It suits family get-togethers and summer garden parties, serving fresh salsas, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in West Silvertown have no vehicle access to the room. The station can go where the truck cannot, as long as the venue agrees, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
In West Silvertown, 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.
What we offer
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole

Your questions about taco bar hire in West Silvertown
Where would you park in West Silvertown?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
We are having a ceremony at St Barnabas' Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
What does taco bar hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
