Book taco bar hire in London Beach
The process
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. In London Beach, 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 generally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

About our taco bar hire in London Beach
You choose the fillings with us, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. It works well for working lunches and company parties, serving pickled onions and toppings, fresh salsas and burrito bowls.
In a small place like London Beach, 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. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
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.
Planning a taco bar in London Beach
London Beach is about 8 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. Give us the address of your event in London Beach, and we will plan the journey and set-up. London Beach is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Maidstone, about 14 miles away.
If people are travelling in by rail, Pluckley station is about 4.8 miles away. After a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Michael, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 7 miles of London Beach, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
This part of Kent takes in TN30, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer.

Other catering in London Beach
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
Why choose taco bar hire in London Beach?
It looks generous: bright salsas, fresh guacamole and bowls of toppings in a row.
In London Beach and nearby, we can cater all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Team socials

Your questions about taco bar hire in London Beach
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near London Beach?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
What’s the nearest station to London Beach for guests?
Guests can use Pluckley station, about 4.8 miles north-east of London Beach.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Who looks after the taco bar?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
