Taco bar hire in Boughton Malherbe
Taco bar hire in Boughton Malherbe, from our truck or trailer
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily. On the menu are slow-cooked fillings kept hot, burrito bowls and pickled onions and toppings, which works well for milestone birthdays and back-garden gatherings.
For a rural spot like Boughton Malherbe, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What’s on the menu
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own.
Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Questions from Boughton Malherbe
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Boughton Malherbe from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
What should the venue provide?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
