How our taco bar hire works in Birchington
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. Popular choices include slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings, and it suits staff parties and engagement parties.
A place like Birchington may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. Daylight in Birchington runs to about 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Share a few details about the event.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- We check power, water and access with your venue.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- At the end, we take everything away.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Share the running order, including any speeches

We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.

Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we’ll set out the options in your quote.
