Taco bar hire in Bicknor, from our truck or trailer
Fillings are agreed with you, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. For company parties and birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Bicknor, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

From late May to late September, sunset in Bicknor moves from about 8:50pm to 7:00pm. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Bicknor
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you cater in villages like Bicknor?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We run the station ourselves, so you don’t need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.

Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
