Planning help
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Hockenden
Will you travel to a small place like Hockenden?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How far is Hockenden from London?
It’s about 13 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We run the station ourselves, so your hosts don’t need to. When service ends, we clear it away.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
