Your questions about taco bar hire in Lenham
What’s the nearest station to Lenham for guests?
Lenham has its own station: Lenham station.
Is Lenham close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
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.
How our taco bar hire works in Lenham
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. For leaving and retirement parties and back-garden gatherings, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot for your guests.
Around Lenham, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Comparing your options
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
