About our taco bar hire in Staplehurst
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving, and nobody waits long. It suits wedding breakfasts and evening receptions, with guacamole, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar.
Near Staplehurst, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

A closer look at the menu
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches so there’s always one ready. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, perhaps chicken tinga, birria or carnitas.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. A December taco bar in Staplehurst will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- 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.
