About our taco bar hire in Shatterling
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. We serve fresh salsas, warm corn and flour tortillas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits wedding meals and birthday celebrations.
In a hamlet or village like Shatterling, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
What taco bar hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Whether you need disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

Questions from Shatterling
How far is Shatterling from central London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the bar to suit.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Shatterling?

How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. 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. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Count children separately

- Make sure one filling is vegan
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
