Taco bar hire for Pootings events
Taco bar hire for your event in Pootings
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It suits wedding evening food and summer garden parties, with burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as Pootings, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Pootings: venues, access and set-up
Pootings is about 6 miles south-west of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Pootings will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. Pootings is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Royal Tunbridge Wells, about 10 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as Congregational Church, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Historic houses near Pootings include Chartwell (1.4 miles north) and Quebec House (3 miles north). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking.

Common questions in Pootings
Do you cater in villages like Pootings?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Pootings for guests?
The closest is Edenbridge station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. Service is timed around speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
What does taco bar hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
How we price taco bar hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Travel, parking and access
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where we’d park
The quickest way to a quote is to drop us a line using the enquiry form. Tell us about your event in Pootings, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
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.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Around midsummer it stays light in Pootings until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Share a few details about the event.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- We check power, water and access with your venue.
- We arrive, unload and lay out warm tortillas, fillings and toppings.
- At the end, we take everything away.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Hot fillings
A few fillings give guests plenty of choice, including a vegan one. You choose them with us.
Guacamole
Guacamole goes quickly on a taco bar, so we keep it topped up.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Count children separately
- Set out seating near the bar
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
Book the truck or trailer for evening food after a daytime taco bar, quoted with the rest.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
