- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.

Planning help
Taco bar hire for your event in Hawley
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. It works well for company parties and team lunches, with burrito bowls, guacamole and pickled onions and toppings.
In a small place like Hawley, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
What affects the price in Hawley
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you need disposables
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- What you’d like on the menu
- The address or venue name
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Roughly how many adults and children
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, use our quote form.
A build-your-own taco bar in Hawley
Hawley is about 1 mile south of Dartford, in Kent. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Hawley and nearby villages. We cater in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Croydon, about 14 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as Church of St John the Baptist, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Nearby historic houses include Hall Place and Gardens (3.3 miles north-west) and Lullingstone Castle (4.6 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Hawley, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
Here we cover the DA2 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Ash Road, May Road and Shirehall Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. If your venue is just outside Hawley, we also cover Clement Street (1 mile south-west), Sutton at Hone (1 mile south-east), Darenth (1 mile east), Dartford (1 mile north) and St Margarets (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Sevenoaks (10 miles south), Gravesend (7 miles east), Northfleet (5 miles east), Swanley (3 miles south-west), Kings Hill (13 miles south-east) and Swanscombe (3 miles north-east).
A little further out are Bluewater (2.4 miles north-east) and Darenth Park Hospital (1.7 miles north-east). Not far away are Wansunt Pit and Sawyers Lake.
- Schools near Hawley include Leigh Academy (1.2 miles north-east)
- Local pubs include The Four Lymes pub (within half a mile north)
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Make sure one filling is vegan
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Questions from Hawley
Do you come to events 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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Hawley?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you come to Hawley?
Yes, we do. Hawley is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips

A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
