Comparing your options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Book the truck or trailer for evening food after a daytime taco bar.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in Patrixbourne until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Patrixbourne: your questions answered
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.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you do margaritas?
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 will talk licensing through with you.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
