Taco bar hire near Highsted
How it compares
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Book food, drinks or both
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- We cover Highsted and the whole of Kent

Occasions we cater for in Highsted
Guests on special diets don’t need a separate meal, since corn tortillas and vegan fillings sit with everything else.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. In Highsted, you could book us for occasions like:
- Marquee parties
- Summer garden parties
- Working lunches
- Milestone birthdays
Before you plan a taco bar in Cromers Wood, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, if it applies
- The deadline for final numbers
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- Any travel, parking or access charges
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Questions from Highsted
How far is Highsted from London?
About 38 miles from central London.
Could you serve in Cromers Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
