DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

About our taco bar hire in Goathurst Common
The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, as long as the venue agrees. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for company parties and team lunches.
Near Goathurst Common, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. In Goathurst Common, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Common questions in Goathurst Common
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.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary at South End of Village Green: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Goathurst Common?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
