How our taco bar hire works in Goudhurst
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. It works well for working lunches and team socials, with a build-your-own taco bar, warm corn and flour tortillas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Near Goudhurst, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in Goudhurst until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
