Taco bar hire near Watt's Cross
Watt's Cross questions
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Watt's Cross?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
What should the venue provide?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Taco bar hire in Watt's Cross, from our truck or trailer
Truck and trailer bookings usually suit around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the taco bar around them. It works well for evening receptions and office lunches, with fresh salsas, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a small place like Watt's Cross, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
