What’s on the menu
Hot fillings
A few fillings give guests plenty of choice. We agree them with you.
Warm tortillas
Tortillas are the base of the bar. We warm them as the bar needs them.
About our taco bar hire in Waltham
Toppings make the bar: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, agreed with you in advance. We serve pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas, which works well for leaving dos and wedding day food.
In a hamlet or village like Waltham, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. Around midsummer it stays light in Waltham 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.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- 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.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

What’s the nearest station to Waltham for guests?
Chilham station, about 3.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Do you cover Waltham?

How does a taco bar work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.

With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early

Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up, then load our vehicle.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
