Taco bar hire in Lympne, from our truck or trailer
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese. Popular choices include burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings, and it’s a good fit for team lunches and engagement parties.
Near Lympne, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Common questions in Lympne
Do you come out to small places like Lympne?
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.
Which station should guests use for Lympne?
The closest is Westenhanger station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Lympne.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
How much is a taco bar?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we’ll quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
What space does a taco bar need?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we’ll check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Popular choices
Hot fillings
You might choose two or three fillings. You choose them with us.
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why book with us
- Service planned around your numbers
