Taco bar hire in Thanington, from our truck or trailer
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese. We serve pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and guacamole, and it suits christenings and family parties and garden parties.
In a smaller place like Thanington, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Let us know about the drive and parking. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Why choose taco bar hire in Thanington?
Building your own is quick, so a crowd is fed at a steady pace, which suits a wedding breakfast or a lunch break.
Whatever the occasion, our truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We can cater:
- Wedding day food
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Back-garden gatherings
- Leaving and retirement parties
After a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Nicholas, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos.

Thanington questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Whitehall Meadows?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We run the station ourselves, so you don’t need helpers. When service ends, we clear it away.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Thanington.
What does taco bar hire cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Taco bar hire in Thanington: local tips
Thanington is about 1 mile south-west of Wincheap, in Kent. For an event in Thanington, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. Thanington is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring taco bar hire.
Parks such as Whitehall Meadows usually need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. If people are travelling in by rail, Canterbury East station is about 1 mile away. Thanington is within about 8 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
Taco bar hire in CT1 and CT2 is planned around your venue and access. Local streets include Godwin Road, Bell Avenue and Ashford Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. If your venue is just outside Thanington, we also cover Wincheap (1 mile north-east), Stuppington (1 mile south-east), Harbledown (1 mile north), Canterbury (1 mile north-east) and Upper Harbledown (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Ashford (12 miles south-west), Dover (14 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (15 miles west), Folkestone (14 miles south), Whitstable (6 miles north) and Deal (15 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Whitefriars Shopping Centre (1.2 miles north-east) and Canterbury Castle (1 mile north-east). Not far away are Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Parking and the route in
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and rough timings
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. A December taco bar in Thanington will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
