Taco bar hire in Tovil, served fresh
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. It suits marquee parties and garden parties, serving a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings.
For a place the size of Tovil, a garden or a hall nearby can suit a taco bar. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Let us know about the drive and parking. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
The menu, item by item
Vegan fillings
Spiced mushroom, or black bean and sweet potato, cooked separately.
Salsas
A row of salsas, mild to hot.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Tovil: venues, access and set-up
Tovil is about 1 mile west of Maidstone, in Kent. From the centre of Tovil to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cater in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages.
Guests leaving a church like St Michael and All Angels Church could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. Before you plan a taco bar in River Len LNR, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Tovil, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our food truck or trailer could go.

Common questions in Tovil
Which station is closest to Tovil?
Guests can use Maidstone West station, about 0.5 miles north-east of Tovil.
Could you serve in River Len LNR?
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.
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 much is a taco bar?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How does a taco bar work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Around midsummer it stays light in Tovil 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.
- 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.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Why choose taco bar hire in Tovil?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
