Questions from South Malling
Is it possible to have you in Railway Land?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
How far is South Malling from central London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Perfect for your event in South Malling
Guests on special diets do not need a separate meal, since corn tortillas and vegan fillings sit with everything else.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Leaving and retirement parties
- Staff parties
- Office lunches
- Milestone birthdays
Historic houses near South Malling include Anne of Cleves House (0.8 miles south-west) and Glyndebourne (2.2 miles east). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking.
What your quote should include
- How bad weather is handled
- The deadline for final numbers
- Who provides plates and napkins
- Staff numbers and hours
Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In South Malling, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
