Book taco bar hire in Shepway
Taco bar hire or something else?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Why book with us
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included
- Quoted for your event
- A menu agreed with you
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
Taco bar hire in Shepway, from our food truck or trailer
You choose the fillings with us, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. At team socials and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of guacamole, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot for your guests.
In a smaller place like Shepway, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Let us know about the drive and parking. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

How the day works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Shepway until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

What affects the price in Shepway
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many staff you need
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What the venue already provides
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Roughly how many adults and children
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Popular choices
Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm so there is always one ready. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
Hot fillings
Fillings cooked ahead and kept hot, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease

- Decide where the table goes before the day
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
Questions from Shepway
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Martin's Church?
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.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
What do you need at the venue?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
