Taco bar hire in Claygate, from our food truck or trailer
The toppings are where guests get creative: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema. It suits christenings and family parties and wedding meals, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a small place like Claygate, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. 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.

Claygate: venues, access and set-up
Claygate is about 7 miles south-west of Maidstone, in Kent. Events in Claygate are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Claygate is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Maidstone, about 7 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Margaret, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Claygate is within about 7 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.
Wherever your event is in TN12, we can bring taco bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Sheephurst Lane, Maidstone Road and Spenny Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Pearson's Green (1 mile south-west), Marden Beech (2 miles south-east), Marden (2 miles east), Queen Street (2 miles north-west) and Castle Hill (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (7 miles north-east), Sevenoaks (14 miles north-west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (8 miles west), Tonbridge (8 miles west), Kings Hill (7 miles north) and Foley Park (8 miles north-east).

What affects the price in Claygate
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- The menu you choose
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How long we are needed on site
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.

The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps.
