With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. It suits engagement parties and wedding evening food, with burrito bowls, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.

FAQs for Lower Halstow
How far is Lower Halstow from central London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Will you travel to a small place like Lower Halstow?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can you cater in a back garden?
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 picture and we’ll talk it through.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
How it compares
Pizza is the usual crowd-pleaser, but a taco bar gives guests more say over what they eat. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us
- Menus chosen with you

For event organisers in Lower Halstow
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
