Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
After the last plate, we take the bar down and leave the spot tidy.
Our food truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar, quoted with the rest.
How our taco bar hire works in Appledore Heath
Our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. It works well for office lunches and summer garden parties, with fresh salsas, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Near Appledore Heath, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Winter evenings in Appledore Heath close in by about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.

Questions from Appledore Heath
Is Appledore Heath close to London?
About 49 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Appledore Heath?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Is the food made fresh?
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.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
