How our taco bar hire works in Aylesham
Truck and trailer bookings normally suit around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. On the menu are burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings, and it suits staff parties and leaving dos.
For a place the size of Aylesham, a garden or a hall nearby can suit a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Tell us where we can park and unload. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Details of power and water near the bar
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Taco bar hire in Aylesham: local tips
Aylesham is about 6 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. We bring taco bar hire to gardens, halls and venues around Aylesham. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 6 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Goodnestone Park (1.6 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. For guests coming by train, Aylesham station is in Aylesham itself. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Aylesham, 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.
This part of Kent takes in CT3. From Market Place, Mexborough Square and Derwent Way or a nearby road, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access. Other places close to Aylesham for taco bar hire include Bloodden (1 mile north), Adisham (1 mile north), Womenswold (1 mile south-west), Woolage Green (2 miles south) and Out Elmstead (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (6 miles north-west), Margate (13 miles north-east), Dover (8 miles south-east), Folkestone (10 miles south), Ramsgate (12 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (14 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include St Martins Hospital (5.2 miles north-west).
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Count children separately
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
Aylesham questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Peter?
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.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
Our service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the bar to suit.
Do you cover Aylesham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Aylesham is within our area and the rest of Kent. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Aylesham until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
