Taco bar hire in Highbrook, from our truck or trailer
You choose the fillings with us, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. It works well for wedding evening food and office lunches, serving a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings.
In a hamlet or village like Highbrook, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Vegan fillings
A vegan filling sits on the bar with the rest.
Warm tortillas
Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We warm them as the bar needs them.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Set out seating near the bar
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d park

Step by step
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In Highbrook, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s 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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Highbrook
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How far is Highbrook from London?
About 31 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
