How our taco bar hire works in West Cross
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, as long as the venue agrees. We serve guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas, and it’s a good fit for company parties and milestone birthdays.
In a hamlet or village like West Cross, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Your questions about taco bar hire in West Cross
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you cater in villages like West Cross?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Taco bar hire in West Cross: local tips
West Cross is about 12 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Anywhere in TN17, we can serve your guests. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Maidstone, about 15 miles away.
Historic houses near West Cross include Smallhythe Place (3.7 miles east) and Great Dixter (4.1 miles south). 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. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 5 miles of West Cross, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
Wherever your event is in TN17, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We also serve at events in Rolvenden (1 mile east), Rolvenden Layne (1 mile south-east), Strood (1 mile east), East End (2 miles north) and Parkgate (2 miles north-east).
