Taco bar hire in Ide Hill, served fresh
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. It works well for evening receptions and retirement parties, serving fresh salsas, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
Somewhere as small as Ide Hill, 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
What we offer
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
What affects the price in Ide Hill
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How long we are needed on site
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Travel, parking and access
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, send a quick message through our quote form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Give us separate numbers for children
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Ide Hill
Which station is closest to Ide Hill?
Guests can use Sevenoaks station, about 3.1 miles north-east of Ide Hill.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Stubbs Wood Country Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
