Taco bar hire in How Green, from our food truck or trailer
We bring taco bars to events in and around How Green: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there’s room for the table. At back-garden gatherings and leaving and retirement parties, we’ll put together a menu of pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas and more.
Near How Green, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Working with your venue
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.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in How Green? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The menu you choose
- Parking and the route in
- Food, drinks or both
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your menu ideas
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Choose at least one vegan filling
If the schedule slips, tell us and we’ll hold everything hot until you are ready.

Our truck and trailer cover the area from How Green to Royal Tunbridge Wells (8 miles away).

Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Around midsummer it stays light in How Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.

- We send a sample spread and a quote.

- We arrive, unload and lay out warm tortillas, fillings and toppings.
- Afterwards, we pack down and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
