About our taco bar hire in Bishopsbourne
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. For engagement and anniversary parties and barn parties, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings.
In a small place like Bishopsbourne, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Bishopsbourne questions
Will you travel to a small place like Bishopsbourne?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
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 will check the access.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
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.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.

Planning a taco bar in Bishopsbourne
Bishopsbourne is about 4 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Give us the address of your event in Bishopsbourne, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages.
After a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Mary, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. Nearby historic houses include Goodnestone Park (4.1 miles east). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Bishopsbourne, 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.

How it works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. From late May to late September, sunset in Bishopsbourne moves from about 8:45pm to 7:00pm. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Ask the venue about power and water
Ask for a quote
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
