About our taco bar hire in Lodge Lees
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. On the menu are slow-cooked fillings kept hot, burrito bowls and pickled onions and toppings, which works well for team lunches and anniversary parties.
Near Lodge Lees, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
How it compares
For a meal that’s hands-on for guests but not for you, a taco bar suits events well. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

What else we do in Lodge Lees
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.

Lodge Lees questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Jumping Downs?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.

Lodge Lees is within about 3 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
