Taco bar hire for Cranbrook events
How our taco bar hire works in Cranbrook
The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, warm corn and flour tortillas and fresh salsas, which works well for office lunches and back-garden gatherings.
In a smaller place like Cranbrook, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Let us know about the drive and parking. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Taco bar hire or something else?
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

FAQs for Cranbrook
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Congregational Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Who looks after the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so your hosts do not need to. We pack it away afterwards.
How does a taco bar work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and guests build their own tacos. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We agree the timings with your venue, and guests build their own plates.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. In Cranbrook, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
