Warm tortillas
Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We warm them as the bar needs them through service.
Vegan fillings
Vegan guests get a proper filling of their own.
About our taco bar hire in Sturry
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. It suits evening receptions and anniversary parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, warm corn and flour tortillas and guacamole.
Near Sturry, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
Should I do it 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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Sturry questions
How far is Sturry from central London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Could you serve in Chequer's Wood and Old Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
How much is a taco bar?
We quote for each taco bar, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue, and guests build their own plates.
What should the venue provide?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
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. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
Our service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the bar to suit.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Check where our vehicle can unload
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Sturry: venues, access and set-up
Sturry is about 3 miles north-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the CT2 area, we will come to your venue or site. Sturry is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring taco bar hire.
Parks such as Chequer's Wood and Old Park normally need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Sturry station is in Sturry itself. With the sea within about 5 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.
This part of Kent takes in CT2. Streets in the area include High Street, Park View and Link Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Broad Oak (1 mile west), Westbere (1 mile east), Calcott (1 mile north), Hersden (2 miles east) and Hicks Forstal (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (3 miles south-west), Margate (12 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south-east), Folkestone (15 miles south), Ramsgate (13 miles east) and Broadstairs (14 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Canterbury Roman Museum (2.6 miles south-west) and St Martins Hospital (2.1 miles south). Not far away are West Blean and Thornden Woods.
- Nearby schools include Spires Academy (1.1 miles east) and Frank Montgomery School (1.2 miles east)
- Local pubs include The Swan Inn (within half a mile south)
The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Daylight in Sturry runs to about 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Ask the venue about power and water
