Taco bar hire near Smeeth
Taco bar hire in Smeeth, from our food truck or trailer
Toppings make the bar: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, agreed with you in advance. It works well for christenings and family parties and marquee parties, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar.
For a rural spot like Smeeth, 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 will confirm power and water with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Taco bar hire or something else?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Smeeth
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.
Do you cater in villages like Smeeth?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
How does a taco bar work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
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.
