Taco bar hire in Pembury
About our taco bar hire in Pembury
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. On the menu are slow-cooked fillings kept hot, guacamole and pickled onions and toppings, and it suits family celebrations and marquee parties.
Near Pembury, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A December taco bar in Pembury will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.

Pembury questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
We are having a ceremony at Upper Church of St Peter: can you cater afterwards?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
What does a taco bar cost?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you will get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
What affects the price in Pembury
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How many guests we are serving
- The menu you choose
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The date and rough timings
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Your menu ideas
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
