About our taco bar hire in Saltwood
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily. We serve guacamole, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings, which works well for back-garden gatherings and team socials.
Somewhere as small as Saltwood, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
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.

Taco bars for events around Saltwood
Saltwood is about 1 mile north of Hythe, in Kent. From the centre of Saltwood to the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Saltwood to Canterbury (14 miles away).
If people are travelling in by rail, Sandling station is about 0.9 miles away. Historic houses near Saltwood include Westenhanger Castle (2.2 miles north-west) and Acrise Place (4.6 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Saltwood, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our food truck or trailer could go. With the sea within about a mile, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze don’t mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.

We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
