Taco bar hire in Rusthall
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Tell us when guests should eat
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Taco bar hire for your event in Rusthall
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. For evening receptions and birthday celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas and more.
A place like Rusthall may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Planning the serving area
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- A clear area in front of the station
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
On the menu in Rusthall
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in Rusthall until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Common questions in Rusthall
We are having a ceremony at St Paul's Church Centre: 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.
Which station is closest to Rusthall?
Guests can use Tunbridge Wells station, about 1.5 miles east of Rusthall.
What does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
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.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas 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.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.

We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.

Guacamole
No taco bar is complete without guacamole, so we keep it topped up.

Salsa lets everyone pick their own heat.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Taco bar hire or something else?

Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
