How our taco bar hire works in Paddock Wood
We bring taco bars to events in and around Paddock Wood: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces. For garden parties and team lunches, we can serve fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar.
A place like Paddock Wood may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Comparing your options
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Fit the bar into your running order
After the last plate, we take the bar down, then load our vehicle.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
