Taco bar hire in Old Wives Lees, served fresh
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings, which works well for wedding day food and engagement parties.
For a rural spot like Old Wives Lees, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Common questions in Old Wives Lees
Which station is closest to Old Wives Lees?
Guests can use Chilham station, about 0.8 miles south-east of Old Wives Lees.
Will you travel to a small place like Old Wives Lees?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What does a taco bar cost?
We do not publish set prices, as each booking is different. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
How does a taco bar work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
What space does a taco bar need?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A December taco bar in Old Wives Lees will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.

Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own.
Hot fillings
Fillings cooked ahead and kept hot, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
