Taco bar hire near Elham
About our taco bar hire in Elham
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. It suits wedding day food and back-garden gatherings, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas.
For a rural spot like Elham, 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’ll confirm power and water with you. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
A build-your-own taco bar in Elham
Elham is about 5 miles north-west of Folkestone, in Kent. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Elham and nearby villages. Elham is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring taco bar hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Elham to Canterbury (about 9 miles away).
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. By rail: the nearest station is Sandling station, about 4.7 miles south-west. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about a mile of Elham, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go. Coastal events near Elham, within about 6 miles of the sea, bring wind into the planning. Tell us where the taco bar would go and where we can park to unload.

Common questions in Elham
Will you travel to a small place like Elham?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How far is Elham from central London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. Around midsummer it stays light in Elham until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Planning help
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers, quoted for your event.
Comparing your options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Why us?
- We cover Elham and the whole of Kent
