Taco bar hire for your event in Cheriton
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving, and nobody waits long. At milestone birthdays and summer garden parties, we can serve warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings and more.
For a place the size of Cheriton, 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. Tell us where we can park and unload. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
About the menu
Vegan fillings
A vegan filling sits on the bar with the rest, not an afterthought.
Hot fillings
A few fillings give guests plenty of choice, including a vegan one. We agree them with you.
How it compares
Pizza is a safe choice, but a taco bar gives guests more say over what they eat. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What you get with us
- Allergen-aware menus
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A menu built around your guests
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

Planning a taco bar in Cheriton
Cheriton is about 1 mile west of Folkestone, in Kent. Anywhere in CT19, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there’s access. We cater in 922 places in Kent. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Cheriton to Canterbury (about 13 miles away).
The M20 run on or near Cheriton, which makes the journey with the taco bar an easy one. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of All Souls, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 5 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Cheriton. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload. With the sea within about 2 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze do not mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
This part of Kent takes in CT19, CT20 and CT50. Whether your event is on Oaks Road, Firs Lane and Star Lane or anywhere nearby, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access. You will find Cheriton on the M20, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Nearby, we also cater events in Sandgate (1 mile south), Folkestone (1 mile east), Peene (1 mile north-west), Newington (1 mile west) and Arpinge (1 mile north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Ashford (12 miles west), Canterbury (13 miles north), Dover (8 miles north-east), Deal (14 miles north-east), Hythe (3 miles south-west) and Tower Hamlets (7 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Sandgate Castle (1 mile south) and Elham Valley Countryside Centre And Railway Museum (1.3 miles north-west). Not far away are Sugar Loaf Hill.
- Schools near Cheriton include Pent Valley Technology College (under half a mile north-east) and The Folkestone Academy (1.1 miles east)
- Pubs nearby include White Lion pub (within half a mile west)

Cheriton: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Souls?
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.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Cheriton
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. Winter evenings in Cheriton close in by about 3:50pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or CT19 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just tell us about it on our contact page.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
