Events we cater in Hoath
It gets people talking: guests compare fillings and swap topping ideas as they go.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Working lunches
- Barn and marquee parties
- Christenings and family parties
- Evening wedding receptions
Parks such as Curtis Wood typically need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan.
Questions to ask before you book
- How each diet is kept separate
- The wet-weather plan
- The venue requirements
- Where to see their hygiene rating
Taco bar hire in Hoath, served fresh
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. At leaving and retirement parties and marquee parties, we can serve warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Hoath, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Taco bar hire in Hoath: local tips
Hoath is about 3 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. For an event in Hoath, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Hoath. We cater in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
By rail: Herne Bay station is about 2.9 miles away. After a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of the Holy Cross, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. With the sea within about 4 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze do not mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
Wherever your event is in CT3, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your event could be at a home on Church Road, Marley Lane and Barn Close or the roads around them. We also serve at events in Maypole (1 mile north), Knave's Ash (1 mile west), Old Tree (1 mile north-east), Millbank (1 mile north) and Hollow Street (1 mile east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Canterbury (5 miles south-west), Margate (10 miles east), Dover (15 miles south-east), Ramsgate (11 miles east), Broadstairs (12 miles east) and Whitstable (6 miles west).
A little further out are St Martins Hospital (4.6 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include West Blean and Thornden Woods.
- Nearby schools include Spires Academy (1.7 miles south-west)
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. In Hoath, 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 usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
Ask for a quote
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers, quoted for your event.
