Taco bar hire for your event in Capel Cross
Truck and trailer bookings usually suit 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. On the menu are slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and guacamole, and it is a good fit for engagement and anniversary parties and staff parties.
For a rural spot like Capel Cross, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Planning a taco bar in Capel Cross
Capel Cross is about 8 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. From the centre of Capel Cross 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. Capel Cross is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Royal Tunbridge Wells, about 8 miles away.
Before you plan a taco bar in The Gill, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement. Close to Capel Cross are historic houses such as Scotney Castle (3.4 miles south-west). 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. Capel Cross is within about 5 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
Here we cover the TN12 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer.

The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. From late May to late September, sunset in Capel Cross 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.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Let us know the timings for the day

How we price taco bar hire
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Parking and the route in
- Your choice of food and drinks

These details help us quote quickly:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.
What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

FAQs for Capel Cross
What’s the nearest station to Capel Cross for guests?
Guests can use Marden station, about 3.5 miles north-east of Capel Cross.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
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.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Put allergies in writing for us
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we’ll set out the options in your quote.

How it compares
A standard buffet often sits out cold. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
