Taco bar hire for John's Cross events
Taco bar hire in John's Cross, served fresh
Truck and trailer bookings usually suit around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the taco bar around them. At family get-togethers and barn parties, we will put together a menu of slow-cooked fillings kept hot, guacamole and burrito bowls.
Somewhere as small as John's Cross, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Decide where the table goes before the day
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear area in front of the station
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Menu ideas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings

John's Cross: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for John's Cross?
Guests can use Robertsbridge station, about 1.7 miles north-west of John's Cross.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you come to John's Cross?
We do. John's Cross is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the taco bar staffed?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you do not need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How much is a taco bar?
We do not publish set prices, as each booking is different. Share your plans and you will get a quote. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
