Taco bar hire in Chalk, from our truck or trailer
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese. At garden parties and retirement parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and fresh salsas for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Chalk, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Chalk
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
What’s the nearest station to Chalk for guests?
Gravesend station, about 2 miles west of the centre.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you cover Chalk?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Chalk and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A December taco bar in Chalk will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.

Comparing your options
Pizza is the usual crowd-pleaser, but a taco bar lets every guest design their own plate. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
