How the day works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In Colt's Hill, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Colt's Hill: your questions answered
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Colt's Hill?
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.
Which station is closest to Colt's Hill?
Guests can use Paddock Wood station, about 1.5 miles north-east of Colt's Hill.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How does a taco bar work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and each guest builds their own. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
How it compares
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
