Planning an event in Deal?
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
How our taco bar hire works in Deal
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. It works well for leaving dos and anniversary parties, serving burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and fresh salsas.
In Deal, a taco bar can be set up inside a hall or club, with the venue’s agreement. We need space for the station, a way in from where we park and room for a queue. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
Perfect for your event in Deal
Vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free guests eat from the same table, since corn tortillas and vegan fillings sit with everything else.
These are some of the occasions we serve around Deal:
- Anniversary parties
- Barn parties

When the service is at a church such as St Saviour's, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.

Taco bar hire or something else?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How far is Deal from central London?
About 67 miles from central London, and we cover it.
We are having a ceremony at St Saviour's: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.

We quote for each taco bar, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
- Food, drinks or both
- Parking and the route in
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
