Taco bar hire in Budds
Taco bar hire in Budds, served fresh
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. On the menu are guacamole, fresh salsas and burrito bowls, which works well for milestone birthdays and family get-togethers.
For a rural spot like Budds, 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 will confirm power and water with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Set out seating near the bar
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Tell us if you need plates and cutlery and we will confirm what’s possible in your quote.
FAQs for Budds
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Budds?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
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 will follow the site rules.
Do you cover Budds?
Yes, we do. Budds is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
What space does a taco bar need?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.

- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
