What affects the price in Borden
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
- Timings and hours
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote.
How our taco bar hire works in Borden
Truck and trailer bookings normally suit 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. For birthday celebrations and leaving and retirement parties, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings.
Near Borden, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

How it compares
Next to a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Borden questions
Is Borden close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Who looks after the taco bar?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
