Taco bar hire or something else?
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Taco bar hire in Reculver, from our food truck or trailer
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. For birthday parties and garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Reculver, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What affects the price in Reculver
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How many guests we are serving
- Serving staff
- What’s on the menu
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, your venue or CT6 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, tell us about it on our contact page.
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Reculver, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Share a few details about the event.
- You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.
- We check power, water and access with your venue.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- At the end, we take everything away.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
How to get a price
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Count children separately
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Our food truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar, quoted with the rest.
Reculver: venues, access and set-up
Reculver is about 3 miles east of Herne Bay, in Kent. From the centre of Reculver to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Reculver is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring taco bar hire. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 8 miles away.
For guests coming by train, Herne Bay station is about 3.5 miles away. Before you plan a taco bar in Bishopstone Cliffs, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement. With the sea within about 3 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze do not mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
Here we cover the CT6 postcode area. Whether your event is on Reculver Lane and Cherry Blossom Drive or a nearby road, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access. Nearby, we also cater events in Bishopstone (1 mile west), Hillborough (1 mile south-west), Hawthorn (2 miles south-west), Beltinge (2 miles west) and Highstead (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (8 miles south-west), Margate (8 miles east), Ramsgate (10 miles east), Broadstairs (10 miles east), Whitstable (7 miles west) and Deal (14 miles south-east).
- Pubs nearby include The King Ethelbert Inn (less than half a mile north-east)
Perfect for your event in Reculver
It looks generous: bright salsas, fresh guacamole and bowls of toppings in a row.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Evening wedding receptions
- Wedding meals
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Summer garden parties
When the service is at a church such as St Mary's Church, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
Questions to ask before booking
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- Whether travel is included
- Where to see their hygiene rating
- What happens if it rains
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
