About our taco bar hire in Sandling
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. At engagement parties and staff parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a small place like Sandling, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
How we price taco bar hire
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- Serving staff
- What’s on the menu
- Food, drinks or both
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Your date and when you want service to start
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, tell us about it on our contact page.
For event organisers in Sandling
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Comparing your options
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
FAQs for Sandling
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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 will check the access.
Do you cater at coastal events near Sandling?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.

Nearby historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (1.6 miles west) and Acrise Place (4.5 miles north-east).
