Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Taco bar hire in Whetstone, served fresh
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. At evening receptions and barn and marquee parties, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, pickled onions and toppings and guacamole for your guests.
From an office courtyard to a hired room, a taco bar in Whetstone needs space for a table and a queue. Tell us where we can stop to unload, and about stairs, lifts or narrow doors. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

How we price taco bar hire
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Whether you need disposables
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many staff you need
- How many guests we are serving
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Expected numbers
- Diets and allergies you know about
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests about fillings and allergens.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. In Whetstone, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Find out what power and water are available
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
Ask for a quote
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Common questions in Whetstone
Is it possible to have you in Swan Lane Open Space?
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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Taco bar hire or something else?
For a meal that is hands-on for guests but not for you, a taco bar is a strong choice for your event. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.

Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
In Whetstone, 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.
