Taco bar hire in Hawthorn, served fresh
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. It works well for office lunches and wedding evening food, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and burrito bowls.
Somewhere as small as Hawthorn, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Hawthorn: venues, access and set-up
Hawthorn is about 2 miles east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Events in Hawthorn are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Hawthorn is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Hawthorn to Canterbury (7 miles away).
Parks such as Bishopstone Cliffs generally need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. With the A299 nearby, getting the taco bar to Hawthorn is simple for us. With the sea within about 3 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze don’t mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
Wherever your event is in CT6 and CT3, we can bring taco bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on Campion Avenue, Sweechbridge Road and Heart in Hand Road or a nearby road, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access. Hawthorn is on the A299, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. We also serve at events in Hillborough (1 mile north-west), Highstead (1 mile south), Bishopstone (1 mile north), Broomfield (1 mile west) and Beltinge (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (7 miles south-west), Margate (9 miles east), Ramsgate (10 miles east), Broadstairs (11 miles east), Whitstable (6 miles west) and Deal (14 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (5.4 miles west). Green spaces nearby include West Blean and Thornden Woods.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Huntsman And Horn Public House (0.8 miles west)

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:

If the schedule slips, tell us and we will hold everything hot until you are ready.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Questions from Hawthorn
Which station should guests use for Hawthorn?
Guests can use Herne Bay station, about 2.4 miles west of Hawthorn.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: 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 come to Hawthorn?
Yes, we do. Hawthorn is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What should the venue provide?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. We confirm power and water when you book.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A December taco bar in Hawthorn will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
How to get a price
