With the sea within about 2 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze do not mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.

How much is a taco bar?

How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We agree the timings with your venue.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Walmer until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
Ask for a quote
