Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

East Malling questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
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.
Is East Malling close to London?
It’s about 27 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. We fit it around your speeches and photos. There’s more in our taco bar guide.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
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.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
