Taco bar hire near Sharpthorne
How our taco bar hire works in Sharpthorne
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. Popular choices include pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas, which works well for barn and marquee parties and milestone birthdays.
Near Sharpthorne, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Why choose taco bar hire in Sharpthorne?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Common questions in Sharpthorne
How far is Sharpthorne from central London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Margaret's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
