Taco bar hire in Marley
How our taco bar hire works in Marley
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese. It suits birthday celebrations and barn and marquee parties, serving pickled onions and toppings, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas.
For a rural spot like Marley, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Taco bars for events around Marley
Marley is about 5 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the CT4 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there is access. We cater in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages.
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Snowdown station, about 3.5 miles east. Parks such as Jumping Downs generally need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. Marley is within about 4 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, 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.

Close by, we cover events in Kingston (1 mile north-east), Heart's Delight (1 mile south-east), Out Elmstead (1 mile east), Barham (1 mile east) and Derringstone (1 mile south-east).

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
