DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Taco bar hire for your event in Barham
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily. On the menu are fresh salsas, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it is a good fit for family get-togethers and staff parties.
In a hamlet or village like Barham, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. 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 a taco bar in Barham
Barham is about 6 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. For an event in Barham, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Barham. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 6 miles away.
Around Barham, historic houses include Goodnestone Park (3.9 miles north-east) and Acrise Place (4.9 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. Before you plan a taco bar in Jumping Downs, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 5 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Barham. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.
We serve at events all over CT4 and the streets around it. Your event could be at a home on The Street, Valley Road and Church Lane. For events just outside Barham, we cover Derringstone (1 mile south), Gravel Castle (1 mile south-east), Heart's Delight (1 mile south-west), Out Elmstead (1 mile north) and Kingston (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in Ashford (13 miles west), Canterbury (6 miles north-west), Margate (15 miles north-east), Dover (8 miles south-east), Folkestone (8 miles south) and Ramsgate (14 miles north-east).

The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. In Barham, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

FAQs for Barham
Is it possible to have you in Jumping Downs?
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.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How does taco bar hire work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
How much is a taco bar?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. For a price, send a quick message through our quote form.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How it compares
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
