Taco bar hire near Strood
About our taco bar hire in Strood
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. Popular choices include guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for anniversary parties and summer garden parties.
Halls, marquees and gardens in Strood can all suit a taco bar. It can stand next to the truck, or on its own where the truck can’t reach. Either way, we need to unload close by. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
FAQs for Strood
How far is Strood from central London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Francis' Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. We fit it around your speeches and photos. There’s more in our taco bar guide.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Strood?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.

Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.

Prices and what affects them

- What the venue already provides
- The menu you choose
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
