Taco bar hire in Mersham
Taco bar hire in Mersham, from our truck or trailer
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. On the menu are fresh salsas, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits barn and marquee parties and working lunches.
Near Mersham, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Give us separate numbers for children
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.

Mersham: venues, access and set-up
Mersham is about 3 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the TN25 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Mersham to Canterbury (about 13 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (4.7 miles east). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off. When the service is at a church such as Church of St John the Baptist, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Mersham, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.
Here we cover the TN25 postcode area. Whether your event is on Church Road, The Street and Church Close or anywhere nearby, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access. For events just outside Mersham, we cover Sevington (1 mile north-west), South Stour (1 mile south-west), Ridgeway (1 mile east), Hinxhill Park (2 miles north) and Smeeth (2 miles east).

How we price taco bar hire
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Parking and the route in
- Guest numbers
- What the venue already provides
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- What you’d like on the menu
- What power and water the site has
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- A clear area in front of the station
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Mersham
Mersham: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Mersham?
The closest is Ashford International station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
How does taco bar hire work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and guests build their own tacos. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
