Taco bar hire for your event in Tower Hamlets
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. On the menu are slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings, which works well for wedding evening food and leaving dos.
In a smaller place like Tower Hamlets, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Tell us where we can park and unload. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Daylight in Tower Hamlets 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 will talk about lighting.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Taco bar hire in Tower Hamlets: local tips
Tower Hamlets is about 1 mile south of Dover, in Kent. Events in Tower Hamlets are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Tower Hamlets has its own station, Dover Priory station. Thinking of a taco bar in High Meadow? Catering in a public park normally needs the landowner’s permission, so check first. With the sea within about a mile, 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.
Anywhere in CT17, CT16 and CT15, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Local streets include Cow Lane, Odo Road and Eric Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
