Taco bar hire in Chatham Waterfront, from our truck or trailer
Fillings are agreed with you, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. Popular choices include guacamole, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar, and it is a good fit for wedding day food and family get-togethers.
For a place the size of Chatham Waterfront, a garden or a hall nearby can suit a taco bar. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Let us know about the drive and parking. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

FAQs for Chatham Waterfront
Is it possible to have you in The Paddock?
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 Divine?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Medway. Find your area.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
