Taco bar hire in Acol, served fresh
Our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. We serve guacamole, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings, which works well for family get-togethers and leaving dos.
In a small place like Acol, 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. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Common questions in Acol
Is Acol close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Acol?
Guests can use Birchington-On-Sea station, about 1.5 miles north of Acol.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we’ll check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Planning a taco bar in Acol
Acol is about 4 miles south-west of Margate, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the CT7 area, we’ll come to your venue or site. Acol is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring taco bar hire. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 11 miles away.
Around Acol, historic houses include Quex Park (0.8 miles north-east). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off. If your garden is hard to reach, a hired hall or club around Acol could take the taco bar instead. Acol is within about 4 miles of the sea, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites generally need permission.
