Taco bar hire in Bowmans, served fresh
The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. For retirement parties and staff parties, we can serve guacamole, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar for your guests.
Around Bowmans, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Why choose taco bar hire in Bowmans?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What you get with us
- We cover Bowmans and the whole of Kent
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Service planned around your numbers
- Access, space and power checked in advance
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Send us allergy details in writing
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
