Taco bar hire for Rainham events
About our taco bar hire in Rainham
Our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the taco bar around them. At team socials and leaving and retirement parties, we will put together a menu of pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and guacamole and more.
A hall or club in Rainham can host a taco bar indoors, if the venue allows it. The station needs space, a route in from the parking area and room to queue. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Rainham questions
Is it possible to have you in Foxburrow Wood?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Is Rainham close to London?
About 32 miles from central London.
Do you cover Rainham?
We do. We serve at events in Rainham and across Medway. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What affects the price in Rainham
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How many staff you need
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- What’s on the menu
- How many guests we’re serving
There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

- Your menu ideas

Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

What else we do in Rainham
The process
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. Evenings in Rainham stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. After dusk, lights over the station help guests build their tacos.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

For event organisers in Rainham
Organising a club, school or community event in Rainham? 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’ll suggest a plan.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- A clear area in front of the station
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we offer
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
What’s on the menu
Warm tortillas
Tortillas are the base of the bar. We warm them as the bar needs them through service.
Vegan fillings
A vegan filling sits on the bar with the rest, not an afterthought.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
