Taco bar hire for your event in Tenterden
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. Popular choices include pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas, which works well for marquee parties and evening receptions.
A place like Tenterden may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Set out seating near the bar
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. Daylight in Tenterden 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 your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Planning help
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we offer
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
Your questions about taco bar hire in Tenterden
How far is Tenterden from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
We are having a ceremony at Parish Church of St Mildred: can you cater afterwards?
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.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.

How many guests can a taco bar serve?

What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
