Taco bar hire for your event in Kemsing
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. At barn and marquee parties and office lunches, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas, warm corn and flour tortillas and burrito bowls and more.
Near Kemsing, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Around midsummer it stays light in Kemsing until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.

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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Two to four fillings
