Planning an event in Broad Ford?
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
About our taco bar hire in Broad Ford
Our truck and trailer service generally 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 anniversary parties and staff parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole.
For a rural spot like Broad Ford, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Broad Ford: your questions answered
Do you come to events in the High Weald 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.
Is it possible to have you in The Gill?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might 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.
What should the venue provide?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle can’t reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Taco bar hire or something else?
Pizza is a safe choice, but a taco bar gives guests more say over what they eat. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.

- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Fit the bar into your running order

Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests about fillings and allergens.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
