About our taco bar hire in Lyminge
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. It works well for family celebrations and wedding meals, with burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings.
Somewhere as small as Lyminge, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
FAQs for Lyminge
Will you travel to a small place like Lyminge?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Which station should guests use for Lyminge?
Guests can use Sandling station, about 2.8 miles south of Lyminge.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.

Before you book anyone
- The deposit and payment dates
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- How each diet is kept separate
- How late numbers can change
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
Taco bar hire in Lyminge: local tips
Lyminge is about 4 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. For an event in Lyminge, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Lyminge. We cater in all 922 towns and villages across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Lyminge to Canterbury (10 miles away).
Around Lyminge, historic houses include Acrise Place (2.1 miles east) and Westenhanger Castle (3.4 miles south-west). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before you book. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Lyminge, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by. The coast is within about 5 miles of Lyminge, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites typically need permission.
We cater events across the CT18 postcode area. Whether your event is on Church Road, Station Road and Silverlands Road or anywhere nearby, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access. We also serve at events in Ottinge (1 mile north-east), Woodland (1 mile west), Skeete (1 mile west), Etchinghill (1 mile south) and Rhodes Minnis (1 mile north-west).

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
What we need at the venue
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
