Taco bar hire for Mowshurst events

Taco bar hire for your event in Mowshurst

The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, depending on the menu you choose. For engagement parties and back-garden gatherings, we will put together a menu of pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole.

Somewhere as small as Mowshurst, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Planning for every diet

We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
  • Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance

We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.

Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.

Step by step

A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Winter evenings in Mowshurst close in by about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.

  1. Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
  2. We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
  3. Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
  4. On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
  5. Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.

How to prepare

  • Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

What affects the price in Mowshurst

Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:

  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food
  • The menu you choose
  • Parking and the route in
  • Staff for serving and the bar

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Diets and allergies you know about

Comparing your options

The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

Who books taco bar hire in Mowshurst?

The bar can go where a vehicle can’t, such as a courtyard, a barn or a hall, with the venue’s agreement.

In Mowshurst and nearby, we can cater all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:

  • Engagement parties
  • Family get-togethers
  • Milestone birthdays

Nearby historic houses include Hever Castle (2.3 miles south-east) and Chartwell (2.5 miles north). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off.

Should I do it myself?

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
