How our taco bar hire works in Swanscombe
Toppings make the bar: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema. At office lunches and back-garden gatherings, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas and more.
Around Swanscombe, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. If the truck cannot reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
What happens on the day
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Around midsummer it stays light in Swanscombe until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Find out what power and water are available
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your event, and we will suggest a menu to suit.
