Taco bar hire for your event in Greatness
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese. It suits marquee parties and leaving and retirement parties, serving pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar.
Around Greatness, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. 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 cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Why choose taco bar hire in Greatness?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
If the schedule slips, tell us and we will hold everything hot until you are ready.

Common questions in Greatness
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Is Greatness close to London?
It is about 19 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What do you need at the venue?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. We confirm power and water when you book.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
How is the food prepared?
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.
