A build-your-own taco bar in Kempe's Corner
Kempe's Corner is about 4 miles north-east of Ashford, in Kent. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Kempe's Corner and nearby villages. Kempe's Corner is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
Around Kempe's Corner, historic houses include Godinton House (3.8 miles south-west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off. Before you plan a taco bar in Conningbrook Lakes Country Park, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 2 miles of Kempe's Corner, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.
Here we cover the TN25 postcode area. Whether your event is on Harville Road and Canterbury Road or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve.

Taco bar hire for your event in Kempe's Corner
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 guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for leaving and retirement parties and birthday celebrations.
For a rural spot like Kempe's Corner, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. 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 set-up goes smoothly.
For event organisers in Kempe's Corner
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
What taco bar hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you need disposables
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Your choice of food and drinks
- The length of service
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where we’d park
- The venue or postcode
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose taco bar hire in Kempe's Corner?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the bar, guests build their own. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us
- Allergen information for every dish
- Quoted for your event
- A plan agreed before the day
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- Space for a serving table on level ground
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
Kempe's Corner: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at All Saints’ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you do not need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with 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?
What space does a taco bar need?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. We confirm power and water when you book.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Give us separate numbers for children
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.

What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Kempe's Corner until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.
