DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
How our taco bar hire works in Hunters Forstal
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. On the menu are burrito bowls, guacamole and fresh salsas, which works well for working lunches and family get-togethers.
Near Hunters Forstal, 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 confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Details of power and water near the bar
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in

Common questions in Hunters Forstal
Is Hunters Forstal close to London?
It’s about 54 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Bartholomew?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Planning a taco bar in Hunters Forstal
Hunters Forstal is about 1 mile south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent.
