Taco bar hire in Herne Common, served fresh
You choose the fillings with us, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. We serve burrito bowls, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits christenings and family parties and birthday parties.
Near Herne Common, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.

FAQs for Herne Common
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Which station should guests use for Herne Common?
Guests can use Herne Bay station, about 1.4 miles north of Herne Common.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We agree the timings with your venue, and guests build their own plates.
