Taco bar hire in Dargate
How our taco bar hire works in Dargate
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. On the menu are warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits christenings and family parties and wedding breakfasts.
Near Dargate, 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 will confirm power and water with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Book the truck or trailer for evening food after a daytime taco bar.
FAQs for Dargate
What’s the nearest station to Dargate for guests?
Guests can use Selling station, about 3 miles south-west of Dargate.
Do you come out to small places like Dargate?

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Can you come to a private house?

Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.

The menu, item by item
Guacamole
No taco bar is complete without guacamole, so we keep it topped up.
Hot fillings
Fillings cooked ahead and kept hot, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Around midsummer it stays light in Dargate until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
