Taco bar hire for your event in Broad Oak
Our taco bar travels to events across Broad Oak and the surrounding area: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there’s room for the table. On the menu are burrito bowls, guacamole and pickled onions and toppings, which works well for wedding evening food and engagement parties.
In a hamlet or village like Broad Oak, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Send us allergy details in writing
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
Planning a taco bar in Broad Oak
Broad Oak is about 7 miles south-east of Crowborough, in East Sussex. Events in Broad Oak are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We cater in all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Royal Tunbridge Wells, about 11 miles away.
Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Stonegate station is about 4.5 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Bateman's (4.2 miles east). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking.

We serve at events all over the TN21 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Halley Road, Burwash Road and Highview Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Broad Oak
Will you travel to a small place like Broad Oak?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Broad Oak?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes through service.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Perfect for your event in Broad Oak
Vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free guests eat from the same table, since corn tortillas and vegan fillings sit with everything else.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Team lunches
- Summer garden parties
- Staff parties
- Family get-togethers
When the service is at a church such as Ebenezer Chapel, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.

How it compares
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
