Taco bar hire in Petteridge
About our taco bar hire in Petteridge
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese. For family get-togethers and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, warm corn and flour tortillas and fresh salsas.
In a hamlet or village like Petteridge, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

FAQs for Petteridge
We’re having a ceremony at Ebenezer Church (Matfield): can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you come to events in the High Weald 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.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. Service is timed around speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
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. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Petteridge?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
