Wincheap: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Whitehall Meadows?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Is Wincheap close to London?
It’s about 53 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How does a taco bar work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
How much is a taco bar?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. For a price, use our quote form.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue, and guests build their own plates.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
It depends on the event and the timings. As a guide, our bookings generally fall around 50 to 400 guests.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Taco bar hire for your event in Wincheap
Our taco bar travels to events across Wincheap and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there’s room for the table. At evening receptions and barn and marquee parties, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings.
In a smaller place like Wincheap, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Let us know about the drive and parking. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
- Service planned around your numbers
- Quoted for your event
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Menus chosen with you
Take a look at our prices page and our guide to catering costs.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. From late May to late September, sunset in Wincheap moves from about 8:45pm to 7:00pm. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Ask the venue about power and water

Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Diets and allergies you know about
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, use our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
What we need at the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
- A level area for the taco-bar table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
