Taco bar hire for your event in Chilham
Our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the taco bar around them. It suits wedding breakfasts and evening wedding receptions, with burrito bowls, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings.
Near Chilham, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Popular choices
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Guacamole
Guacamole goes quickly on a taco bar, so we keep it topped up.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Chilham? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Menu ideas
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
Questions from Chilham
Do you cater in villages like Chilham?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. Service is timed around speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What does taco bar hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What affects the price in Chilham
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we are needed on site
- Serving staff
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us

- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your menu ideas
- Your date and when you want service to start
