Taco bar hire in Chiddingstone Hoath, from our food truck or trailer
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. For milestone birthdays and team socials, we can serve pickled onions and toppings, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar for your guests.
For a rural spot like Chiddingstone Hoath, 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 confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

How it works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. In Chiddingstone Hoath, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Preparing for the day

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Popular choices
Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, perhaps chicken tinga, birria or carnitas.

We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.

Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.

How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue.

A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
