Taco bar hire for your event in Penshurst
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. It suits wedding meals and birthday parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, warm corn and flour tortillas and guacamole.
For a rural spot like Penshurst, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Taco bar hire in Penshurst: local tips
Penshurst is about 5 miles north-west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. From the centre of Penshurst to the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages.
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. Thinking of a taco bar in Chiddingstone Castle Park and Gardens? Catering in a public park typically needs the landowner’s permission, so check first.

Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
