Taco bar hire in Swanton, served fresh
We bring taco bars to events in and around Swanton: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there’s room for the table. At leaving dos and birthday parties, we can serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and burrito bowls.
Near Swanton, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
How it compares
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Quoted for your event
- Every guest catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included

Swanton: venues, access and set-up
Swanton is about 5 miles north-east of Tonbridge, in Kent. From the centre of Swanton to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Swanton is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring taco bar hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Swanton to Maidstone (8 miles away).
Guests leaving a church like Church of St Dunstan could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. Historic houses near Swanton include Old Soar Manor (1.5 miles west) and Ightham Mote (3.7 miles west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off.
This part of Kent takes in ME18, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer.

Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Winter evenings in Swanton 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.

Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Swanton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Swanton?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Dunstan?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What does a taco bar cost?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
Do you cater in Swanton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Swanton. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Count children separately
If the schedule slips, tell us and we’ll hold everything hot until you are ready.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
The menu, item by item
Toppings
