Taco bar hire in Northfleet, served fresh
You choose the fillings with us, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. For wedding breakfasts and marquee parties, we can serve pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
In Northfleet, a taco bar can be set up inside a hall or club, with the venue’s agreement. The station needs space, a route in from the parking area and room to queue. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Northfleet? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Count children separately
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
Perfect for your event in Northfleet
Vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free guests eat from the same table, since corn tortillas and vegan fillings sit with everything else.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We are happy to cater:
- Office lunches
- Leaving dos
- Anniversary parties
- Birthday celebrations

Northfleet: venues, access and set-up

What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Winter evenings in Northfleet close in by about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.

Common questions in Northfleet
What’s the nearest station to Northfleet for guests?
The closest is Gravesend station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Northfleet Urban Country Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
