Taco bar hire in Lidsing
Lidsing questions
Is it possible to have you in South Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to Lidsing for guests?
Rainham (Kent) station, about 3.3 miles north-east of the centre.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
How does a taco bar work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Taco bar hire in Lidsing, from our food truck or trailer
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. At milestone birthdays and wedding breakfasts, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and more.
Somewhere as small as Lidsing, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Where the truck can go in Lidsing
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Menu ideas
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
How we price taco bar hire
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The menu you choose
- Parking and the route in
- How long we’re needed on site
- What the venue already provides
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your menu ideas
- Roughly how many adults and children
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
