Taco bar hire in Maypole, served fresh
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. At anniversary parties and garden parties, we can serve burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot and more.
In a small place like Maypole, 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, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Winter evenings in Maypole close in by about 3:50pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Questions from Maypole
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Curtis Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Which station is closest to Maypole?
The closest is Herne Bay station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we’ll check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you come to Maypole?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Maypole and the rest of Kent. To check your date, tell us about it on our contact page.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. 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. Contact us for a quote.
Why us?
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Allergen information for every dish
- A menu built around your guests
- We cover Maypole and the whole of Kent

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:

- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.
