Taco bar hire near Shoreham
Taco bar hire in Shoreham, served fresh
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. It suits birthday parties and company parties, with pickled onions and toppings, guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar.
For a rural spot like Shoreham, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Taco bar hire in Shoreham: local tips
Shoreham is about 4 miles north of Sevenoaks, in Kent. For taco bar hire in Shoreham, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Shoreham is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring taco bar hire. We cater right across the region, from Shoreham to Croydon (12 miles away).
Historic houses near Shoreham include Lullingstone Castle (1.8 miles north-east) and Knole House (4.8 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. Thinking of a taco bar in Raspberry Hall Park? Catering in a public park usually needs the landowner’s permission, so check first. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about a mile of Shoreham, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our food truck or trailer could go.
We cover events in every part of the TN14 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include High Street, Boakes Meadow and Church Street, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. For events just outside Shoreham, we cover Badgers Mount (1 mile west), Sepham Heath (1 mile south-west), Twitton (1 mile south), Otford (2 miles south) and Lullingstone (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Dartford (8 miles north), Sevenoaks (4 miles south), Royal Tunbridge Wells (14 miles south), Gravesend (11 miles north-east), Tonbridge (10 miles south-east) and Northfleet (10 miles north-east).

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Organising a club, school or community event in Shoreham? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Shoreham
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
We run the station ourselves, so you don’t need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How we price taco bar hire
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- The menu you choose
- Guest numbers
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of where we’d park
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Winter evenings in Shoreham close in by about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Share a few details about the event.
- You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.
- We check power, water and access with your venue.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- Afterwards, we pack down and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
