Taco bar hire in Old Romney, from our truck or trailer
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, pickled onions and toppings and guacamole, which works well for wedding day food and retirement parties.
In a small place like Old Romney, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

FAQs for Old Romney
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Old Romney?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Clement?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What does taco bar hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in Old Romney until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
