Taco bar hire for your event in Chitty
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for marquee parties and team lunches.
In a hamlet or village like Chitty, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Pizza is a safe choice, but a taco bar gives guests more say over what they eat. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
What you get with us
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- A menu agreed with you
- We cover Chitty and the whole of Kent

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. A December taco bar in Chitty will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.

Taco bars for events around Chitty
Chitty is about 4 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Chitty will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. We serve in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
By rail: Herne Bay station is about 4 miles away. After a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. With the sea within about 4 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.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
FAQs for Chitty
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Chitty?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Chitty for guests?
The closest is Herne Bay station, roughly 4 miles away.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
