Taco bar hire in Martin
Planning a taco bar in Martin
Martin is about 3 miles north-east of Dover, in Kent. For taco bar hire in Martin, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Martin is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring taco bar hire. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
Close to Martin are historic houses such as Walmer Castle (3 miles north-east). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off. Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Martin has its own station, Martin Mill station. With the sea within about 4 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze do not mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
Taco bar hire in CT15 is planned around your venue and access. From The Street, Waterworks Lane and Ringwould Road or a nearby road, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access. Nearby, we also cater events in Martin Mill (1 mile south-east), East Langdon (1 mile south-west), West Langdon (1 mile west), Ringwould (1 mile north-east) and Sutton (1 mile north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Canterbury (13 miles north-west), Margate (14 miles north), Dover (3 miles south-west), Folkestone (10 miles south-west), Ramsgate (12 miles north) and Broadstairs (13 miles north).
A little further out are Royal Victoria Hospital (3.6 miles south-west) and St Margaret's Museum (2.5 miles south-east). Not far away are Dover Western Heights.
- Nearby schools include Duke of York's Royal Military School (2.3 miles south)
- Pubs nearby include The Lantern Inn (within half a mile south-west)
About our taco bar hire in Martin
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. Popular choices include warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings, and it suits barn parties and office lunches.
For a rural spot like Martin, 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’ll confirm power and water with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.
Our food truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar.
Perfect for your event in Martin
Everyone builds a plate that suits them, so there are fewer special requests.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. People in Martin can book us for events such as:
- Team lunches

Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:

- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Martin
What’s the nearest station to Martin for guests?
Guests can use Martin Mill station, which is right in Martin.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Augustine?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
How we price taco bar hire
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- What the venue already provides
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How long we are needed on site
- Distance and access to the venue
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Taco bar hire or something else?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
What you get with us

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. In Martin, 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 typically served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
