A build-your-own taco bar in Gravesend
Gravesend is about 9 miles north-west of Gillingham, in Kent. We bring taco bar hire to homes, gardens and venues in Gravesend and nearby villages. Gravesend is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Gravesend to Maidstone (13 miles away).
By rail: Gravesend station is about 0.9 miles away. Parks such as Northfleet Urban Country Park normally need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan.
Wherever your event is in DA12 and DA11, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Christ Church Road, Hillside Drive and Laurel Avenue, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Main roads around Gravesend include the A2 and A226, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. Nearby, we also cater events in Windmill Hill (1 mile north-west), Milton-next-Gravesend (1 mile north-east), Denton (1 mile east), Singlewell or Ifield (1 mile south) and Northfleet (1 mile west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Maidstone (13 miles south-east), Dartford (7 miles west), Sevenoaks (13 miles south-west), Swanley (9 miles west), Kings Hill (11 miles south) and Foley Park (12 miles south-east).
A little further out are Gravesham Museum (0.9 miles north-west) and Stone Castle (4.5 miles west). Not far away are Sawyers Lake and Gad's Hill.
- Schools near Gravesend include St John's Catholic Comprehensive (under half a mile north-east) and St John's Catholic Comprehensive (less than half a mile north-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Waterloo Public House (0.6 miles north-west)
Taco bar hire in Gravesend, from our truck or trailer
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. We serve pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas, which works well for wedding day food and wedding evening food.
Not every garden in Gravesend can be reached by a vehicle, which is where a taco bar helps: the truck stays on the drive or road, with permission, and the station goes in the garden. Tell us how far it is from the parking spot to the garden. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Menu ideas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips

Popular choices
Guacamole
No taco bar is complete without guacamole, so we keep it topped up.
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Why choose taco bar hire in Gravesend?
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
