How our taco bar hire works in Benenden
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. At garden parties and marquee parties, we can serve burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and fresh salsas and more.
Near Benenden, 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. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Benenden questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St George: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
How does taco bar hire 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.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Set out seating near the bar
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Fit the bar into your running order
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
