Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included
Taco bar hire in Chatham, from our truck or trailer
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese. For working lunches and leaving and retirement parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls and more.
Chatham has venues of every kind, from function rooms to big gardens, and a build-your-own taco bar can stand beside the truck or on its own. The station needs a level surface and space for a queue, plus somewhere close by to unload. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Chatham: your questions answered
Could you serve in Darland Banks?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
We are having a ceremony at Christ the King: 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 will check the access.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
What should the venue provide?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
