How our taco bar hire works in Goodnestone
Our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the taco bar around them. It works well for evening wedding receptions and marquee parties, serving guacamole, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar.
Somewhere as small as Goodnestone, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
- Details of power and water near the bar
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
Goodnestone: venues, access and set-up
Goodnestone is about 2 miles east of Preston, in Kent. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Goodnestone and the surrounding area. Goodnestone is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
Around Goodnestone, historic houses include Belmont House and Gardens (5 miles south-west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off. If people are travelling in by rail, Faversham station is about 1.9 miles away. Goodnestone is within about 5 miles of the sea, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites normally need permission.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Goodnestone
Do you come out to small places like Goodnestone?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Goodnestone?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
What space does a taco bar need?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Who looks after the taco bar?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you cover Goodnestone?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Goodnestone is within our area. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
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.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in Goodnestone until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Let us know the timings for the day

How it compares
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
