Nearby historic houses include Ightham Mote (1.5 miles south) and Old Soar Manor (2.1 miles south-east). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking.

Check with yours where a taco bar station and our food truck or trailer could go.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Pizza is a safe choice, but a taco bar lets every guest design their own plate. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Should I do it myself?
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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many staff you need

- What the venue already provides
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
