Taco bar hire near Cross-at-Hand
How our taco bar hire works in Cross-at-Hand
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. It works well for wedding evening food and company parties, with warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a hamlet or village like Cross-at-Hand, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Tell us when guests should eat
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
Cross-at-Hand: your questions answered
How far is Cross-at-Hand from London?
It’s about 35 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What’s the nearest station to Cross-at-Hand for guests?
Guests can use Staplehurst station, about 1.2 miles south of Cross-at-Hand.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
Our service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the bar to suit.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Guacamole goes quickly on a taco bar.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. In Cross-at-Hand, 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. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
