About our taco bar hire in Margate
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. We serve warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas, and it is a good fit for anniversary parties and barn and marquee parties.
Some gardens in Margate can only be reached on foot, so we can park nearby, with permission, and set the taco bar up in the garden. Let us know the route from where we’d park. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Occasions we cater for in Margate
Vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free guests eat from the same table, since corn tortillas and vegan fillings sit with everything else.
Whatever you are celebrating in Margate, our truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We can cater:
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Wedding meals
- Company parties
- Evening wedding receptions
After a christening or wedding at a church such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos.

For event organisers in Margate
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. A December taco bar in Margate will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Planning help
Where the truck can go in Margate
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- Space for a serving table on level ground
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
Comparing your options
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why book with us
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Every guest catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included
- Service planned around your numbers
- Quoted for your event
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Parking and the route in
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How long we’re needed on site
There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Where the event is
- What power and water the site has

What else we do in Margate
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
After the last plate, we take the bar down and leave the spot tidy.
Tell us if you need plates and cutlery and we’ll set out the options in your quote.
Common questions in Margate
Which station is closest to Margate?
Margate station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Margate close to London?
It is about 64 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. We fit it around your speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
