Taco bar hire in Yelsted, from our truck or trailer
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. We serve warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for staff parties and leaving and retirement parties.
Near Yelsted, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Set out seating near the bar
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.

Yelsted questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Stockbury Hill Wood?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Yelsted?
Rainham (Kent) station, about 2.5 miles north of the centre.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
What does a taco bar cost?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
