Taco bar hire in Garlinge, served fresh
Our taco bar travels to events across Garlinge and the surrounding area: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there is room for the table. It suits team lunches and company parties, serving burrito bowls, pickled onions and toppings and guacamole.
In a smaller place like Garlinge, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Let us know about the drive and parking. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
How we price taco bar hire
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Guest numbers
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your menu ideas
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Taco bars for events around Garlinge
Garlinge is about 1 mile west of Margate, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Garlinge will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up. We cater in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
Guests arriving without a car will want to know that the nearest station is Margate station, about 0.8 miles north-east. Nearby historic houses include Quex Park (1.7 miles south-west). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking. The coast is within about 2 miles of Garlinge, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites usually need permission.
We cover events in every part of the CT9 and CT8 postcode area. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on High Street, Bridge Road and Caxton Road or the roads around them. If your venue is just outside Garlinge, we also cover Westbrook (1 mile north-east), Westgate-on-Sea (1 mile west), Flete (1 mile south-east), Margate (1 mile east) and Westwood (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (14 miles south-west), Ramsgate (4 miles south-east), Broadstairs (3 miles east), Whitstable (14 miles west), Deal (11 miles south) and Herne Bay (10 miles west).

Taco bar hire or something else?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Questions from Garlinge
We’re having a ceremony at St James: 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.
How far is Garlinge from central London?
It’s about 63 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you come to Garlinge?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Garlinge and the rest of Kent. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
What should the venue provide?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
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.
