Taco bar hire for Ivy Hatch events
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
About our taco bar hire in Ivy Hatch
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. At wedding evening food and staff parties, we can serve warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a hamlet or village like Ivy Hatch, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Organising for someone else?
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. Around midsummer it stays light in Ivy Hatch until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, 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 your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, your venue or TN15 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Planning help
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
What we offer
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
If the schedule slips, tell us and we will hold everything hot until you are ready.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
Ivy Hatch: venues, access and set-up
Ivy Hatch is about 4 miles east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Events in Ivy Hatch are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Ivy Hatch is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Ivy Hatch to Royal Tunbridge Wells (9 miles away).
Around Ivy Hatch, historic houses include Ightham Mote (0.7 miles south) and Old Soar Manor (2.1 miles east). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking. Parks such as Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve usually need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. Ivy Hatch is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
We cover events in every part of TN15 and the streets around it. From Coach Road, Ismays Road and Stone Street Road or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. If your venue is just outside Ivy Hatch, we also cover Ightham (1 mile north-east), Stone Street (1 mile west), Sheet Hill (1 mile east), Yopps Green (1 mile east) and Oldbury (1 mile north). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (11 miles east), Dartford (12 miles north), Sevenoaks (4 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (9 miles south), Gravesend (12 miles north) and Tonbridge (5 miles south).
A little further out are Beechin Wood Archery Museum (2.8 miles north-east) and Sevenoaks Hospital (3.6 miles west).

Ivy Hatch: your questions answered
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Will you travel to a small place like Ivy Hatch?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
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 give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Ivy Hatch is within our area and the rest of Kent. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
