Taco bar hire for Roughway events
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Taco bar hire in Roughway, from our truck or trailer
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. At family get-togethers and summer garden parties, we can serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls and more.
For a rural spot like Roughway, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Count children separately
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Questions from Roughway
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Which station is closest to Roughway?
Guests can use Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 2.9 miles north of Roughway.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Is the taco bar staffed?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes through service.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How much is a taco bar?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you will get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
For a meal that’s hands-on for guests but not for you, a taco bar is a strong choice for your event. There’s 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.
