Taco bar hire for Dungeness events
Taco bar hire for your event in Dungeness
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too. We serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it’s a good fit for office lunches and back-garden gatherings.
Somewhere as small as Dungeness, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
A closer look at the menu
Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm so there is always one ready. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Toppings
Lime, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, agreed with you.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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.
Where the truck can go in Dungeness
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Dungeness
Is Dungeness close to London?
It’s about 61 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. Service is timed around speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Do you come to Dungeness?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Dungeness and the rest of Kent. To check your date, tell us about it on our contact page.

Anywhere in TN29, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A December taco bar in Dungeness 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.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Before we arrive
