Planning a taco bar in Capel

Capel is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring taco bar hire.
Guests leaving a church like Church of St Thomas à Becket could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. Before you plan a taco bar in Foal Hurst Wood, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement.

Taco bar hire in Capel, served fresh
We bring taco bars to events in and around Capel: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. It suits team lunches and wedding evening food, serving burrito bowls, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a small place like Capel, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
How we price taco bar hire
These are the factors that matter most:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many guests we are serving
- Parking and the route in
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your menu ideas
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

What else we do in Capel
Capel: your questions answered
Is Capel close to London?
It is about 29 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is it possible to have you in Foal Hurst Wood?
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’ll send what they need from us.
What should the venue provide?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we’ll check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. Service is timed around speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Set out seating near the bar
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up, then load our vehicle.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Menu ideas
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings

Taco bar hire or something else?
Pizza is a safe choice, but a taco bar gives guests more say over what they eat. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- A menu agreed with you
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Catering across Kent, including Capel
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
