What else we do in Stansted
How we price Mexican bar hire
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How long we are needed on site
- Parking and the route in
- Serving staff
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

- What power and water the site has
- What you’d like on the menu
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many adults and children
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Questions from Stansted
Do you come out to small places like Stansted?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Which station is closest to Stansted?
Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 2.9 miles south of the centre.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
How much is the bar?

Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
