Your questions about taco bar hire in Northbourne
Do you cater at coastal events near Northbourne?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Is it possible to have you in Betteshanger Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Is the taco bar staffed?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes through service.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Taco bar hire in Northbourne, from our truck or trailer
Our taco bar travels to events across Northbourne and the surrounding area: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces. We serve warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for working lunches and engagement parties.
Near Northbourne, 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 confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. Around midsummer it stays light in Northbourne until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally 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.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us a contact for the day

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Taco bar hire or something else?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Menus chosen with you
- Book food, drinks or both
