How it works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Winter evenings in Fordcombe close in by about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Find out what power and water are available
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Taco bar hire in Fordcombe, from our food truck or trailer
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. At christenings and family parties and wedding day food, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and fresh salsas and more.
Somewhere as small as Fordcombe, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Taco bar hire in Fordcombe: local tips
Fordcombe is about 4 miles west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Give us the address of your event in Fordcombe, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. Fordcombe is one of 922 places in Kent we cover.
By rail: the nearest station is Ashurst Kent station, about 1.4 miles south-west. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Peter, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. With the High Weald National Landscape about 7 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Fordcombe. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.
We cover events in every part of TN3 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Spring Hill, St Peters Row and Chafford Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. If your venue is just outside Fordcombe, we also cover Walter's Green (1 mile north-west), Stone Cross (1 mile south), Ashurst (1 mile south-west), Teasley Mead (1 mile west) and Penshurst (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Sevenoaks (10 miles north), Royal Tunbridge Wells (4 miles east), Tonbridge (6 miles north-east), Kings Hill (13 miles north-east), Paddock Wood (10 miles east) and Southborough (4 miles east).
A little further out are Bolebroke Castle (3.4 miles south-west) and Kent and Sussex Hospital (3.6 miles east). Open spaces near Fordcombe include Broadwater Warren RSPB Reserve and Barden Lake.
- Pubs nearby include Chafford Arms (under half a mile east)
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Where the truck can go in Fordcombe
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

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, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Comparing your options
For a meal that is hands-on for guests but not for you, a taco bar is a strong choice for your event. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why us?
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Book food, drinks or both
- A clear quote
- A menu agreed with you

Your questions about taco bar hire in Fordcombe
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in villages like Fordcombe?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
