Taco bar hire for your event in Monkton
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. Popular choices include burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas, and it suits office lunches and family get-togethers.
Somewhere as small as Monkton, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
On the menu in Monkton
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings

Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up, then load our vehicle.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.
Monkton: venues, access and set-up
Monkton is about 5 miles south-west of Margate, in Kent. Across the CT12 area, we’ll come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. We serve in all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
After a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. If people are travelling in by rail, the nearest station is Minster station, about 1.8 miles south-east. With the sea within about 6 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze don’t mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
We cover events in every part of the CT12 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Monkton Street, Collards Close and Seamark Close; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. We also serve at events in Hoo (1 mile east), St Nicholas at Wade (1 mile north-west), Sarre (2 miles west), East Stourmouth (2 miles south-west) and Westmarsh (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (10 miles south-west), Margate (5 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (6 miles east), Broadstairs (7 miles east) and Whitstable (11 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Powell-Cotton Museum (2.4 miles north-east) and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (5.5 miles north-east). Open spaces near Monkton include Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.

Monkton questions
How far is Monkton from London?
About 60 miles from central London.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of Saint Mary Magdalene?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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’ll check the access.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the bar to suit.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Do you come to Monkton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Monkton and the rest of Kent. To check your date, send a quick message through our quote form.
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.
