How our taco bar hire works in Horsmonden
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. For back-garden gatherings and family celebrations, we can serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
For a rural spot like Horsmonden, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Taco bar hire in Horsmonden: local tips
Horsmonden is about 7 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Events in Horsmonden are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Horsmonden is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Horsmonden to Royal Tunbridge Wells (7 miles away).
Close to Horsmonden are historic houses such as Scotney Castle (3.4 miles south). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off. Venues in and around the High Weald National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Horsmonden, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our food truck or trailer could go.

Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Horsmonden: your questions answered
Do you come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you cater in villages like Horsmonden?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Is the taco bar staffed?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes through service.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point, quoted for your event.
About the menu

Vegan guests get a proper filling of their own.

How the day works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In Horsmonden, 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 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us when you want service to start
How to get a price
