For event organisers in Slutshole
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
About our taco bar hire in Slutshole
Truck and trailer bookings normally suit around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the taco bar around them. It works well for engagement and anniversary parties and garden parties, serving guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
For a rural spot like Slutshole, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
Taco bar hire in Slutshole: local tips
Slutshole is about 3 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. From the centre of Slutshole to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Slutshole is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Slutshole to Canterbury (about 6 miles away).
Guests arriving without a car will want to know that the nearest station is Selling station, about 2.1 miles south. After a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Michael, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. Slutshole is within about 5 miles of the sea, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites normally need permission.
Wherever your event is in ME13, we can bring taco bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Close by, we cover events in Hernhill (1 mile north-east), Staplestreet (1 mile south-west), Dargate (1 mile north-east), Goodnestone (1 mile north-west) and Culmers (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in Ashford (12 miles south), Canterbury (6 miles east), Sittingbourne (10 miles west), Whitstable (5 miles north-east), Faversham (3 miles west) and Herne Bay (9 miles north-east).

- Local pubs include Red Lion pub (less than half a mile north-east)
Why choose taco bar hire in Slutshole?
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. 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.

Questions from Slutshole
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Michael?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station is closest to Slutshole?
The closest is Selling station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we are needed on site
- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Food, drinks or both
There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- What power and water the site has
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What you’d like on the menu
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, use our quote form.
