Taco bar hire for Westwood events
Taco bar hire for your event in Westwood
You choose the fillings with us, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. On the menu are burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it’s a good fit for summer garden parties and wedding day food.
Near Westwood, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Planning a taco bar in Westwood
Westwood is about 3 miles south of Swanscombe, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Westwood will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. Westwood is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring taco bar hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Westwood to Maidstone (about 14 miles away).
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. By rail: Longfield station is about 1 mile away. Westwood is within about 8 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
For taco bar hire in DA13 and DA2, we plan around your venue and the route in. Your event could be at a home on Westwood Road and Highcross Road. If your venue is just outside Westwood, we also cover Grubb Street (1 mile south-west), Green Street Green (1 mile west), Bean (1 mile north-west), St Margarets (2 miles west) and Darenth (2 miles west). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (14 miles south-east), Dartford (4 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (10 miles south-west), Gravesend (4 miles east), Tonbridge (15 miles south) and Northfleet (3 miles north-east).
Nearby you will also find Stone Museum of Geology (3.3 miles north-west) and Bluewater (2.3 miles north-west). The countryside around Westwood includes Sawyers Lake.

Common questions in Westwood
Which station is closest to Westwood?
Longfield station, about 1 mile south of the centre.
How far is Westwood from central London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London.
How does a taco bar work?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We run the station ourselves, so you do not need helpers. When service ends, we clear it away.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
The menu, item by item
Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
Guacamole
Guacamole goes quickly on a taco bar, so we keep it topped up.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
Can I do a taco night myself?
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Taco bar hire or something else?

How it works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Winter evenings in Westwood close in by about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Name one person we can ask on the day
