Taco bar hire for Horsted Keynes events
FAQs for Horsted Keynes
Do you come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you come out to small places like Horsted Keynes?
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.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Horsted Keynes.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Taco bar hire for your event in Horsted Keynes
Our taco bar travels to events across Horsted Keynes and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there’s room for the table. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and guacamole, and it suits garden parties and family celebrations.
In a small place like Horsted Keynes, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up, then load our vehicle.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

To check availability and price, we need:
- What power and water the site has
