About our taco bar hire in Sheldwich
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. It suits milestone birthdays and family celebrations, with guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Somewhere as small as Sheldwich, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
How it compares
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. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What we offer in Sheldwich
- A menu built around your guests

Guests leaving a church like Church of St James could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. Nearby historic houses include Belmont House and Gardens (1.6 miles west).

Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 7 miles of Sheldwich, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Fit the bar into your running order
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up, then load our vehicle.
Our truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Common questions in Sheldwich
Is Sheldwich close to London?
About 45 miles from central London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
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.
Do you cater in Sheldwich?
Yes, we do. Sheldwich is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
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 do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How does taco bar hire work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests build their own tacos. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
