About our taco bar hire in Hoo
Our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the taco bar around them. It works well for office lunches and leaving and retirement parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Near Hoo, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will 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 Hoo: local tips
Hoo is about 5 miles south-west of Margate, in Kent. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Hoo and nearby villages. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Hoo to Canterbury (10 miles away).
After a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. Close to Hoo are historic houses such as Quex Park (2.4 miles north-east). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking. With the sea within about 6 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.
For taco bar hire in CT12, we plan around your venue and the route in. Streets in the area include Monkton Road, Hoo Farm Way and Sheriffs Court Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. If your venue is just outside Hoo, we also cover Monkton (1 mile west), St Nicholas at Wade (2 miles north-west), Westmarsh (2 miles south-west), East Stourmouth (2 miles south-west) and Sarre (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (10 miles south-west), Margate (5 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (5 miles east), Broadstairs (6 miles east) and Whitstable (11 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (5 miles north-east) and Powell-Cotton Museum (2.2 miles north). Open spaces near Hoo include Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
- Pubs nearby include The Bell Inn (0.9 miles south-east)
Hoo: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Hoo?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Hoo?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
What should the venue provide?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
What else we do in Hoo
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Set out seating near the bar
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Put allergies in writing for us
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. Evenings in Hoo stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. After dusk, lights over the station help guests build their tacos.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- 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
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
Ask for a quote
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
