Taco bar hire for Ditton events
About our taco bar hire in Ditton
Fillings are agreed with you, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. At christenings and family parties and leaving and retirement parties, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and warm corn and flour tortillas and more.
In and around Ditton, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. If the truck cannot reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
If the schedule slips, tell us and we’ll hold everything hot until you are ready.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
For event organisers in Ditton
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. In Ditton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

FAQs for Ditton
Which station is closest to Ditton?
Guests can use Aylesford station, about 0.6 miles north-east of Ditton.
We’re having a ceremony at St Peter's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What do you need at the venue?
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 picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How does a taco bar work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
