About our taco bar hire in Upper Upnor
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. It works well for birthday celebrations and garden parties, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, guacamole and pickled onions and toppings.
In a small place like Upper Upnor, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Upper Upnor questions
What’s the nearest station to Upper Upnor for guests?
The closest is Strood station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Could you serve in Lower Lines Park?
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.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. We fit it around your speeches and photos. There’s more in our taco bar guide.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Menu ideas
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
