Taco bar hire for Kilndown events
About our taco bar hire in Kilndown
The toppings are where guests get creative: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema. It suits garden parties and engagement and anniversary parties, with fresh salsas, burrito bowls and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Near Kilndown, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Common questions in Kilndown
Do you come out to small places like Kilndown?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
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.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
