Taco bar hire for Kingsgate events
Taco bar hire in Kingsgate, from our food truck or trailer
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. At evening receptions and back-garden gatherings, we can serve guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
In a small place like Kingsgate, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Around midsummer it stays light in Kingsgate 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 is dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Find out what power and water are available
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Planning a taco bar in Kingsgate
Kingsgate is about 2 miles north of Broadstairs, in Kent. Across the CT10 area, we can serve your guests. Kingsgate is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 17 miles away.
By rail: the nearest station is Broadstairs station, about 1.6 miles south. Kingsgate is within about 3 miles of the sea, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites usually need permission.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Kingsgate
Which station should guests use for Kingsgate?
Guests can use Broadstairs station, about 1.6 miles south of Kingsgate.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Is the food made fresh?
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 should the venue provide?
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.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle can’t reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
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. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
