Questions from Ickham
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Ickham?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Taco bar hire in Ickham, from our food truck or trailer
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too. Popular choices include fresh salsas, warm corn and flour tortillas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits working lunches and engagement and anniversary parties.
Somewhere as small as Ickham, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. 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 serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.

What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Evenings in Ickham stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. After dusk, lights over the station help guests build their tacos.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
