About our taco bar hire in Minster
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. On the menu are pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and fresh salsas, and it is a good fit for evening wedding receptions and barn parties.
Near Minster, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Taco bar hire in Minster: local tips
Minster is about 4 miles west of St Lawrence, in Kent. Anywhere in CT12, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. Minster is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring taco bar hire. We cater right across the region, from Minster to Canterbury (10 miles away).
Around Minster, historic houses include Quex Park (2.4 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. When the service is at a church such as Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. With the sea within about 5 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.
We serve at events all over CT12. Local streets include Cheney Road, Thorne Road and High Street; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Other places close to Minster for taco bar hire include Mount Pleasant (1 mile north-east), Way (1 mile east), Acol (2 miles north), Sevenscore (2 miles east) and Ebbsfleet (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (10 miles west), Margate (5 miles north-east), Dover (13 miles south), Ramsgate (4 miles east), Broadstairs (6 miles east) and Whitstable (12 miles west).
A little further out are RAF Manston History Museum (2.1 miles north-east) and Ramsgate General Hospital (4.4 miles east). Not far away are Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
- Local pubs include The Bell Inn (within half a mile south-east)
For event organisers in Minster
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Organising a club, school or community event in Minster? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Comparing your options
For a meal that is hands-on for guests but not for you, a taco bar is a strong choice for your event. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
