DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Who books taco bar hire in Old Heathfield?

How we price taco bar hire
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The menu you choose
- Parking and the route in
- What the venue already provides
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu ideas
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To get it right:
- Set out seating near the bar
- Tell us when guests should eat

FAQs for Old Heathfield
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
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 come out to small places like Old Heathfield?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
