Taco bar hire near Westwood
Taco bar hire in Westwood, served fresh
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. Popular choices include slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and burrito bowls, and it’s a good fit for wedding evening food and working lunches.
Somewhere as small as Westwood, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Westwood questions
How far is Westwood from central London?
It’s about 56 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which station should guests use for Westwood?
Guests can use Bekesbourne station, about 4.1 miles north of Westwood.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the bar around them.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
What affects the price in Westwood
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Serving staff
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Timings and hours
- Travel, parking and access
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- How we drive in and where we can park
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, send a quick message through our quote form.
How it compares
Next to a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Around midsummer it stays light in Westwood until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Share the running order, including any speeches
How to get a price

Taco bar hire in Westwood: local tips
Westwood is about 5 miles south of Canterbury, in Kent. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Westwood. Westwood is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring taco bar hire.
Guests arriving without a car will want to know that the nearest station is Bekesbourne station, about 4.1 miles north. Historic houses near Westwood include Acrise Place (4.9 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Westwood, 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.
