Taco bar hire in Smarden Bell, from our truck or trailer
Fillings are agreed with you, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. It works well for company parties and birthday celebrations, with fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole.
Near Smarden Bell, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
We cater events across TN27. Streets in the area include Bell Lane and Headcorn Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Step by step
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In Smarden Bell, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us when you want service to start
