About our taco bar hire in Birchden
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. It suits summer garden parties and birthday parties, with pickled onions and toppings, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar.
Near Birchden, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings

Common questions in Birchden
Do you come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Thomas the Apostle?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How does taco bar hire work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.
Book the truck or trailer for evening food after a daytime taco bar.
Popular choices
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Guacamole
No taco bar is complete without guacamole.
Taco bar hire in Birchden: local tips
Birchden is about 4 miles south-west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. We bring taco bar hire to gardens, halls and venues around Birchden and the surrounding area. We serve in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Thomas the Apostle, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Around Birchden, historic houses include Groombridge Place (0.8 miles north) and Bassetts Manor (4.4 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. With the High Weald National Landscape about 7 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Birchden. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. Winter evenings in Birchden close in by about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Taco bar hire or something else?
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. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
