Your questions about taco bar hire in Otford
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Bartholomew?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Otford close to London?
It is about 18 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Otford? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Decide where the table goes before the day
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Our truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar, quoted with the rest.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
