Taco bar hire in Markbeech, from our truck or trailer
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. We serve warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for office lunches and retirement parties.
Near Markbeech, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Markbeech
Do you cater in villages like Markbeech?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Chiddingstone Castle Park and Gardens?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Markbeech: venues, access and set-up
Markbeech is about 6 miles north-east of East Grinstead, in Kent.

Before you plan a taco bar in Chiddingstone Castle Park and Gardens, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement. Nearby historic houses include Hever Castle (1.3 miles north) and Chiddingstone Castle (1.9 miles north-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. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Markbeech, 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.
Here we cover the TN8 postcode area. We can cater an event on streets such as Uckfield Lane and Cow Lane or the roads around them.

About the menu
Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
Vegan fillings
Black bean and sweet potato, or spiced mushrooms, cooked separately.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What the venue already provides
- Parking and the route in
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Put allergies in writing for us
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Who books taco bar hire in Markbeech?

Is taco bar hire right for your event?

How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Around midsummer it stays light in Markbeech 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 is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Find out what power and water are available
