Taco bar hire for Stanhope events
How our taco bar hire works in Stanhope
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it is a good fit for barn parties and christenings and family parties.
A place like Stanhope may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Stanhope
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Francis?
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 will check the access.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Stanhope?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you cater in Stanhope?
We do. Stanhope is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
