When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
About our taco bar hire in Hellingly
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too, with licensing checked with you. On the menu are guacamole, warm corn and flour tortillas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits family celebrations and office lunches.
Near Hellingly, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
