About our taco bar hire in Hempstead
Truck and trailer bookings usually suit around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the taco bar to match. Popular choices include guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls, and it suits family celebrations and wedding meals.
For a place the size of Hempstead, a garden or a hall nearby can suit a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Tell us where we can park and unload. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Who books taco bar hire in Hempstead?
Guests on special diets do not need a separate meal, since corn tortillas and vegan fillings sit with everything else.

Planning a taco bar in Hempstead
Hempstead is about 2 miles south of Gillingham, in Medway. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Hempstead and nearby villages. Hempstead is one of 68 towns and villages in Medway we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Hempstead to Maidstone (6 miles away).
If people are travelling in by rail, Rainham (Kent) station is about 2.1 miles away. Historic houses near Hempstead include Restoration House (3.8 miles north-west) and Temple Manor (4.5 miles north-west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 7 miles of Hempstead, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.
Anywhere in ME7 and ME8, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Harrow Road, Spekes Road and Capstone Road. Hempstead sits on or near the A278, which makes travel to your event easy. For events just outside Hempstead, we cover Capstone (1 mile north-west), Darland (1 mile north-west), Wigmore (1 mile east), Hale (1 mile north-west) and Park Wood (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover Rochester (4 miles north-west), Strood (5 miles north-west), Hoo St Werburgh (5 miles north), Chatham Waterfront (3 miles north-west), Rochester Riverside (4 miles north-west) and Peters Village (5 miles west).
A little further out are Pentagon Shopping Centre (3 miles north-west) and Medway megaliths (3.8 miles south-west). Not far away are Burham Down and Boxley Hills.
- Nearby schools include Rainham School for Girls (1.3 miles north-east) and Howard School (1.3 miles north-east)
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Organising a club, school or community event in Hempstead? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. In Hempstead, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us what power and water the site has
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Hempstead
Which station is closest to Hempstead?
Guests can use Rainham (Kent) station, about 2.1 miles north-east of Hempstead.
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Medway included. Find your area.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Count children separately
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we’ll confirm what’s possible in your quote.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Popular choices
Salsas
Salsa lets everyone pick their own heat.
Warm tortillas
Tortillas are the base of the bar. We warm them as the bar needs them.
