Taco bar hire for Dartford events
About our taco bar hire in Dartford
We bring taco bars to events in and around Dartford: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. We serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, burrito bowls and guacamole, which works well for team socials and evening wedding receptions.
Some gardens in Dartford can only be reached on foot, so we can park nearby, with permission, and set the taco bar up in the garden. Let us know the route from where we’d park. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we’ll set out the options in your quote.
Organising for someone else?
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.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Serving staff
- The menu you choose
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Expected numbers
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

Dartford station, in Dartford itself.
How far is Dartford from London?
It’s about 14 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A December taco bar in Dartford will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
