Taco bar hire in Herne, from our truck or trailer
Truck and trailer bookings generally 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 warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and fresh salsas, and it suits engagement and anniversary parties and retirement parties.
Around Herne, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. If the truck can’t reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
How we price taco bar hire
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- What the venue already provides
- Travel, parking and access
- What’s on the menu
- How long we are needed on site
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Expected numbers
- Diets and allergies you know about
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, send a quick message through our quote form.
Why choose taco bar hire in Herne?
Building your own is quick, so a crowd is fed at a steady pace, which suits a wedding breakfast or a lunch break.
Whatever you’re celebrating in Herne, our food truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We are happy to cater:
- Wedding day food
- Garden parties
- Barn and marquee parties
- Engagement parties
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Martin, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission.

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Common questions in Herne
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Martin?
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.
Which station is closest to Herne?
Guests can use Herne Bay station, about 1.2 miles north-west of Herne.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Who looks after the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so your hosts don’t need to. We pack it away afterwards.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
What does a taco bar cost?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we’ll quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Popular choices
Guacamole
No taco bar is complete without guacamole.
Vegan fillings
Vegan guests get a proper filling of their own, not an afterthought.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.

Comparing your options
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. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- We cover Herne and the whole of Kent
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Service planned around your numbers
- A truck or trailer that comes to you

Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. In Herne, 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 generally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- 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
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
