How our taco bar hire works in Whitstable
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving. It works well for engagement parties and wedding meals, serving guacamole, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Some gardens in Whitstable can only be reached on foot, which is where a taco bar helps: the truck stays on the drive or road, with permission, and the station goes in the garden. Let us know the route from where we’d park. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
