Taco bar hire near Folly Town
Taco bar hire in Folly Town, served fresh
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. At office lunches and barn and marquee parties, we will put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
In a hamlet or village like Folly Town, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Folly Town: venues, access and set-up
Folly Town is about 5 miles east of Ashford, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the TN25 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Folly Town to Canterbury (about 9 miles away).
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Mary, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 3 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Folly Town. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.
For taco bar hire in TN25, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Hastingleigh (1 mile east), Hassell Street (1 mile north), Brook (1 mile west), Brabourne (2 miles south) and Wye (2 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Ashford (5 miles west), Canterbury (9 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles east), Folkestone (10 miles south-east), Whitstable (13 miles north) and Faversham (11 miles north-west).

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area in front of the station
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we offer

- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
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. Winter evenings in Folly Town close in by about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any 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.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Folly Town: your questions answered
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you cater in villages like Folly Town?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we’ll check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Check where our vehicle can 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.
Taco bar hire or something else?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
