About our taco bar hire in Knockholt
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. It suits retirement parties and milestone birthdays, serving burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a hamlet or village like Knockholt, 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’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Why choose taco bar hire in Knockholt?
If you want food that feels sociable but still well run, a taco bar suits events well. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

Knockholt questions
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs 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.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Knockholt?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
What does taco bar hire cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We run the station ourselves, so you do not need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
Our service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the bar to suit.
How the day works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In Knockholt, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Give us a contact for the day

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
For event organisers in Knockholt
Organising a club, school or community event in Knockholt? 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.

Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
What we offer
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas

How we price taco bar hire
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Distance and access to the venue
- What the venue already provides
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
