Questions from Sholden
What’s the nearest station to Sholden for guests?
Guests can use Deal station, about 1.1 miles east of Sholden.
Is it possible to have you in Betteshanger Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
What does taco bar hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What should the venue provide?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we’ll check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: 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.
About our taco bar hire in Sholden
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too. It suits garden parties and office lunches, with warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and burrito bowls.
Somewhere as small as Sholden, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Taco bar hire in Sholden: local tips
Sholden is about 1 mile north-west of Deal, in Kent.

What taco bar hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just tell us about it on our contact page.
Step by step
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. A December taco bar in Sholden will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
