Taco bar hire in Challock, from our food truck or trailer
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. It suits leaving and retirement parties and christenings and family parties, serving fresh salsas, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings.
Somewhere as small as Challock, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point, quoted for your event.
