DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
FAQs for Boyden Gate
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
How far is Boyden Gate from London?
It is about 56 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. Tell us your plans for a quote.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Boyden Gate: venues, access and licensing
Boyden Gate is about 3 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Boyden Gate will be, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. Boyden Gate is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican bar hire. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
If the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. For a drinks-led event, rail details help, and the nearest station is Herne Bay station, about 3.4 miles west. With the sea within about 4 miles, a seaside drinks reception is an option. Seafront spots usually need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
Anywhere in CT3, we can bring Mexican bar hire to you. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Forge Lane and Church Lane or the roads around them. Close by, we cover events in Chislet (1 mile south), Highstead (1 mile north-west), Chitty (1 mile south-east), Hollow Street (1 mile south) and Old Tree (1 mile south-west).

How we price Mexican bar hire
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
