Taco bar hire near Hawkenbury
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
How our taco bar hire works in Hawkenbury
Fillings are agreed with you, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. It works well for barn parties and birthday parties, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole.
In a smaller place like Hawkenbury, 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. Tell us where we can park and unload. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Comparing your options
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How we price taco bar hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The length of service
- What’s on the menu
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
A build-your-own taco bar in Hawkenbury
Hawkenbury is about 1 mile south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Anywhere in TN2, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there is access. Hawkenbury is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring taco bar hire.
By rail: Tunbridge Wells station is about 0.8 miles away. Parks such as Dunorlan Park normally need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. With the High Weald National Landscape about 5 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Hawkenbury. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.
Taco bar hire in TN2 and TN1 is planned around your venue and access and timings. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Forest Road, Nelson Road and Dorset Road. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Royal Tunbridge Wells (1 mile north-west), Broadwater Down (1 mile west), Bells Yew Green (2 miles south-east), High Brooms (2 miles north) and Rusthall (2 miles north-west). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (15 miles north-east), Sevenoaks (12 miles north), Tonbridge (5 miles north), Kings Hill (12 miles north-east), Paddock Wood (6 miles north-east) and Park Wood (14 miles north-east).

Hawkenbury questions
Could you serve in Dunorlan Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
How far is Hawkenbury from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do you cover Hawkenbury?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Hawkenbury and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
What space does a taco bar need?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. In Hawkenbury, 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.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
