Taco bar hire for your event in Brabourne
Our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the taco bar around them. It suits team lunches and back-garden gatherings, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole.
Near Brabourne, 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 confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Questions from Brabourne
What’s the nearest station to Brabourne for guests?
Westenhanger station, about 3.4 miles south-east of the centre.
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 for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How much is a taco bar?
We do not publish set prices, as each booking is different. Send us your details and we’ll quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What taco bar hire costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Whether you need disposables
- How many guests we’re serving
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Staff for serving and the bar
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and time of the event
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Popular choices
Guacamole
Guacamole goes quickly on a taco bar, so we keep it topped up.
Hot fillings
You might choose two or three fillings, including a vegan one. You choose them with us.
Comparing your options
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- We cover Brabourne and the whole of Kent
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Allergen information for every dish
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A December taco bar in Brabourne will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Taco bars for events around Brabourne
Brabourne is about 6 miles east of Ashford, in Kent. From the centre of Brabourne to the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Brabourne is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Brabourne to Canterbury (about 11 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (3.3 miles south-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. Guests leaving a church like Church of St Mary could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. Brabourne is within about 5 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. 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.
