About our taco bar hire in Lordswood
We bring taco bars to events in and around Lordswood: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. It suits wedding meals and garden parties, with fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In a smaller place like Lordswood, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Let us know about the drive and parking. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Send us allergy details in writing
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Lordswood
Which station should guests use for Lordswood?
Guests can use Chatham station, about 3.2 miles north of Lordswood.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What space does a taco bar need?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
