Common questions in Hammerwood
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. Service is timed around speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
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.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Set out seating near the bar
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Give us separate numbers for children
After the last plate, we take the bar down and leave the spot tidy.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in Hammerwood until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Tell us about your event and your guests.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- We check power, water and access with your venue.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- Afterwards, we pack down and leave the area tidy.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Guest numbers
- How long we are needed on site
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Travel, parking and access
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
