Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Parking and the route in
- How many guests we are serving
- Your choice of food and drinks

Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- What power and water the site has
- Expected numbers
- Your menu ideas
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Count children separately
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.

What else we do in Lower Rainham
DIY taco night or 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 dishes for guests with allergies.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Lower Rainham? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Winter evenings in Lower Rainham close in by about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Tell us what power and water the site has

How it compares
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- A menu agreed with you

Questions from Lower Rainham
Is it possible to have you in Berengrave Chalk Pit?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Will you travel to a small place like Lower Rainham?
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.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
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.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
How does a taco bar work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
