How our taco bar hire works in Upper Harbledown
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and warm corn and flour tortillas, which works well for barn and marquee parties and staff parties.
In a small place like Upper Harbledown, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests about fillings and allergens.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Upper Harbledown: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Upper Harbledown?
Guests can use Canterbury West station, about 1.8 miles east of Upper Harbledown.
Do you cater at coastal events near Upper Harbledown?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We run the station ourselves, so you don’t need helpers. When service ends, we clear it away.
Do you cater in Upper Harbledown?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Upper Harbledown is within our area and the rest of Kent. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in Upper Harbledown until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
