About our taco bar hire in Whitechapel
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, plus allergen information for every dish. At leaving dos and barn parties, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas.
From an office courtyard to a hired room, a taco bar in Whitechapel needs space for a table and a queue. Tell us where we can stop to unload, and about stairs, lifts or narrow doors, as London parking takes planning. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

FAQs for Whitechapel
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Finsbury Circus?
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.
Our venue in Whitechapel has no vehicle access: can we still have a taco bar?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer does not have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the bar around them.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.

What else we do in Whitechapel
What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
In Whitechapel, 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’ll advise.
On the menu in Whitechapel
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips

Taco bar hire or something else?
Pizza is the usual crowd-pleaser, but a taco bar gives guests more say over what they eat. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

- VAT, if it applies

Step by step
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Around midsummer it stays light in Whitechapel until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Find out what power and water are available
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
Getting a price

About the menu
Salsas
Salsa lets everyone pick their own heat.
Vegan fillings
A vegan filling sits on the bar with the rest.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
