Taco bar hire for your event in Great Chart
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and pickled onions and toppings, which works well for anniversary parties and evening receptions.
In a hamlet or village like Great Chart, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
What taco bar hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- What’s on the menu
- Serving staff
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests we are serving
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.

Great Chart: venues, access and set-up
Great Chart is about 1 mile west of Ashford, in Kent. From the centre of Great Chart to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Great Chart to Canterbury (14 miles away).
Parks such as Ashford Community Woodland generally need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. Guests leaving a church like Church of St Mary could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 6 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Great Chart. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.
Wherever your event is in TN23, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include The Street, Toke Close and The Paddocks; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. We also serve at events in Godinton (1 mile north-east), Chilmington Green (1 mile south-west), Stanhope (1 mile south-east), Ashford (1 mile east) and Fleeden (1 mile south-west). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (14 miles north-east), Sittingbourne (14 miles north), Folkestone (15 miles east), Faversham (12 miles north), Hythe (12 miles south-east) and Davington (12 miles north).
Well-known places in the area include County Square (1.6 miles east) and William Harvey Hospital (3.5 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Orlestone Forest.
- Nearby schools include John Wallis Academy (1.5 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you will find The Little Black Dog pub (less than half a mile north-west)
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Great Chart
Which station is closest to Great Chart?
Guests can use Ashford International station, about 1.8 miles east of Great Chart.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
What does a taco bar cost?
We quote for each taco bar, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How does a taco bar work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Great Chart until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day
