Taco bar hire in Tonbridge
What taco bar hire costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- What’s on the menu
- Serving staff
- Parking and the route in
- Whether you need disposables
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Where the event is
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
About our taco bar hire in Tonbridge
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. It suits barn and marquee parties and summer garden parties, with warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Some gardens in Tonbridge can only be reached on foot, which is where a taco bar helps: the truck stays on the drive or road, with permission, and the station goes in the garden. Let us know the route from where we’d park. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
How it compares
Buffet trays can go cold and tired. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why book with us
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A menu agreed with you
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Everything served fresh from the hatch

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Tonbridge
How far is Tonbridge from central London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you serve in Haysden Country Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. Daylight in Tonbridge runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, send a quick message through our quote form.
