Taco bar hire for Drellingore events
How our taco bar hire works in Drellingore
Truck and trailer bookings typically suit 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. Popular choices include pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and guacamole, and it suits leaving and retirement parties and garden parties.
For a rural spot like Drellingore, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
Should I do it myself?
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Planning an evening taco bar in Drellingore? Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. After dusk, lights over the station help guests build their tacos.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

How it compares

Planning a taco bar in Drellingore
Drellingore is about 2 miles east of Hawkinge, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the CT18 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there is access. Drellingore is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Drellingore to Canterbury (12 miles away).
Before you plan a taco bar in Sladden Wood, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement. Guests leaving a church like Church of St Michael could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Drellingore, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go. With the sea within about 4 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze don’t mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
This part of Kent takes in CT18 and CT15, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer.
