Taco bar hire in Northwood, from our truck or trailer
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It works well for team lunches and engagement parties, with burrito bowls, guacamole and fresh salsas.
In and around Northwood, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk.

FAQs for Northwood
Which station should guests use for Northwood?
Guests can use Ramsgate station, about 0.8 miles south of Northwood.
Can you serve near the sea around Northwood?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How much is a taco bar?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.

Comparing your options
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. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
