The menu, item by item
Salsas
Salsa lets everyone pick their own heat.
Warm tortillas
Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We warm them as the bar needs them through service.
Taco bar hire for your event in Allington
Truck and trailer bookings normally 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 suits office lunches and milestone birthdays, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and pickled onions and toppings.
Around Allington, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. If the truck cannot reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Allington
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Nicholas' Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Could you serve in Whatman Park?
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 will send what they need from us.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
Our service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the bar to suit.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Taco bar hire in Allington: local tips
Allington is about 2 miles north-west of Maidstone, in Kent. Across the ME16 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. Allington is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring taco bar hire.
Nearby historic houses include Stoneacre (4.2 miles south-east). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking. If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like St. Nicholas' Church, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Allington, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
We cater events across the ME16, ME20 and ME14 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Wyatt Road, Beaver Road and Godwin Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Nearby, we also cater events in Aylesford (1 mile north-west), Fant (1 mile south), Ditton (2 miles west), East Farleigh (2 miles south) and Kettle Corner (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Sittingbourne (11 miles east), Sevenoaks (13 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (14 miles south-west), Gravesend (11 miles north-west), Tonbridge (11 miles south-west) and Northfleet (12 miles north-west).
A little further out are Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment Museum (1.3 miles south-east) and Fremlin Walk (1.3 miles south-east). The countryside around Allington includes Burham Down and Boxley Hills.
- Nearby schools include The Maplesden Noakes School (0.7 miles south-east) and St. Simon Stock Catholic School (0.9 miles south)
- Nearby, you’ll find Malta Inn (0.8 miles north-east)
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear area in front of the station
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
