Comparing your options
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

How our taco bar hire works in Frittenden
Truck and trailer bookings typically suit around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the taco bar around them. Popular choices include warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits summer garden parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
Near Frittenden, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Frittenden questions
Which station should guests use for Frittenden?
Headcorn station, about 2.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Frittenden?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How does a taco bar work?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we’ll quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Perfect for your event in Frittenden
A full taco bar looks inviting: bright salsas, fresh guacamole and bowls of toppings in a row make an easy centrepiece.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Leaving dos
- Staff parties
- Marquee parties
- Birthday parties
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
What to look for in a quote
- Payment terms and deposit
