About the menu
Hot fillings
You might choose two or three fillings, with at least one vegan. You choose them with us.
Salsas
Guests add as much heat as they like.
How our taco bar hire works in Lynsted
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. On the menu are warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits office lunches and summer garden parties.
Somewhere as small as Lynsted, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

FAQs for Lynsted
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Lynsted?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. We fit it around your speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How does taco bar hire work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
