Taco bar hire in Nackington, served fresh
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, as long as the venue agrees. At leaving and retirement parties and anniversary parties, we will put together a menu of guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and warm corn and flour tortillas for your guests.
In a small place like Nackington, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
What’s on the menu
Hot fillings
Fillings cooked ahead and kept hot, perhaps chicken tinga, birria or carnitas.
Warm tortillas
Tortillas are the base of the bar. We warm them as the bar needs them.
FAQs for Nackington
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Is Nackington close to London?
It is about 54 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What do you need at the venue?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you provide drinks?
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.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
How much is a taco bar?
We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.

Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Give us separate numbers for children

After the last plate, we take the bar down.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.
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. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
