About our taco bar hire in Sheldwich Lees
We bring taco bars to events in and around Sheldwich Lees: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. On the menu are slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas, which works well for company parties and christenings and family parties.
In a small place like Sheldwich Lees, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
How we price taco bar hire
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Food, drinks or both
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of where we’d park
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
To get a price, just tell us about it on our contact page. Give us the details of your event, and we will put together a menu and price.
Comparing your options
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

Sheldwich Lees questions
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Sheldwich Lees?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
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.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How much is a taco bar?
We quote for each taco bar, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
