Taco bar hire in Ashurst: local tips
Ashurst is about 5 miles west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. For taco bar hire in Ashurst, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Ashurst is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover.
Close to Ashurst are historic houses such as Groombridge Place (1.6 miles south-east) and Bassetts Manor (2.8 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Martin of Tours, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. Ashurst is within about 6 miles of the High Weald 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.
We cover events in every part of the TN3 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Ashurst Road, Clayton's Lane and Ashurst Hill, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Close by, we cover events in Stone Cross (1 mile east), Teasley Mead (1 mile north-west), Fordcombe (1 mile north-east), Walter's Green (1 mile north) and Groombridge (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Sevenoaks (11 miles north), Royal Tunbridge Wells (5 miles east), Tonbridge (7 miles north-east), Kings Hill (15 miles north-east), Paddock Wood (11 miles east) and Southborough (5 miles north-east).
A little further out are Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital (4.4 miles east) and Bolebroke Castle (2.4 miles west). The countryside around Ashurst includes Broadwater Warren RSPB Reserve.
Taco bar hire in Ashurst, from our truck or trailer
You choose the fillings with us, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. It suits summer garden parties and evening receptions, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Near Ashurst, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Common questions in Ashurst
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Martin of Tours?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Will you travel to a small place like Ashurst?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
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. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How does taco bar hire work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.

The process
