Near Pluckley Thorne, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
