How our taco bar hire works in Birling
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. At wedding breakfasts and back-garden gatherings, we will put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole and more.
In a small place like Birling, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

What taco bar hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How long we are needed on site
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Guest numbers
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where we’d park
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
Send us the date, your venue or ME19 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, tell us about it on our contact page.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Common questions in Birling
Which station should guests use for Birling?
West Malling station, about 1.8 miles south of the centre.
We are having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
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 will check the access.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What should the venue provide?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we’ll confirm what’s needed. We also need the venue’s permission.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.

- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- A clear area in front of the station
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. In Birling, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Share a few details about the event.
- You get a suggested taco-bar menu 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
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
