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

Taco bar hire in Darenth, from our truck or trailer
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. On the menu are burrito bowls, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it is a good fit for leaving and retirement parties and barn and marquee parties.
Somewhere as small as Darenth, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Should I do it myself?
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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

About 16 miles from central London.
Which station should guests use for Darenth?
Farningham Road station, about 1.6 miles south-west of the centre.
How much is a taco bar?

Is the food made fresh?

What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
