Near Appledore, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Appledore: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Appledore?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you cater in Appledore?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Appledore. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle can’t reach. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
How much is a taco bar?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.

How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. A December taco bar in Appledore will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.

Planning a taco bar in Appledore
Appledore is about 8 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. We bring taco bar hire to gardens, halls and venues around Appledore. We cater in 922 places across Kent. We cater right across the region, from Appledore to Maidstone (20 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Smallhythe Place (3.9 miles west). 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. After a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. Appledore is within about 6 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 usually need permission.
