How our taco bar hire works in Lydd
Our taco bar travels to events across Lydd and the surrounding area: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there’s room for the table. Popular choices include fresh salsas, burrito bowls and pickled onions and toppings, and it’s a good fit for evening receptions and office lunches.
A place like Lydd may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Questions from Lydd
Could you serve our guests after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Lydd from central London?
It’s about 58 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you will get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
What affects the price in Lydd
Contact us for a quote, and the price is based on:
- Food, drinks or both
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many staff you need
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Send us allergy details in writing
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
For event organisers in Lydd
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
