Taco bar hire for Hales Place events
How our taco bar hire works in Hales Place
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, depending on the menu you choose. At wedding evening food and family get-togethers, we can serve burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings.
In and around Hales Place, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. If the truck cannot reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Taco bar hire in Hales Place: local tips
Hales Place is about 1 mile north of Canterbury, in Kent. We bring taco bar hire to homes, gardens and venues in Hales Place and nearby villages. We serve in 922 places in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
By rail: the nearest station is Canterbury West station, about 0.8 miles south. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Stephen, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. The coast is within about 6 miles of Hales Place, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites generally need permission.
Here we cover the CT2 and CT1 postcode area. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Downs Road, Godden Road and Tunstall Road or the roads around them. If your venue is just outside Hales Place, we also cover Canterbury (1 mile south), Harbledown (1 mile south-west), Rough Common (1 mile west), Wincheap (2 miles south) and Upper Harbledown (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include Ashford (14 miles south-west), Margate (14 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (15 miles west), Folkestone (15 miles south) and Ramsgate (15 miles east).

Questions from Hales Place
Is it possible to have you in Bus Company Island?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to Hales Place for guests?
Guests can use Canterbury West station, about 0.8 miles south of Hales Place.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
How does a taco bar work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
After the last plate, we take the bar down and leave the spot tidy.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.

How we price taco bar hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many guests we’re serving
- The menu you choose
- Timings and hours
- Serving staff
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
How it compares
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, with power and water confirmed when you book. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
