How our taco bar hire works in Gushmere
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. For birthday celebrations and family get-togethers, we can serve pickled onions and toppings, guacamole and burrito bowls and more.
In a hamlet or village like Gushmere, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Gushmere questions
How far is Gushmere from central London?
It is about 47 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which station should guests use for Gushmere?
Guests can use Selling station, about 0.6 miles east of Gushmere.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
What does taco bar hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. Service is timed around speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
Do you come to Gushmere?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Gushmere and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Events we cater in Gushmere

A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Office lunches

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Taco bar hire in Gushmere: local tips
Gushmere is about 3 miles south-east of Faversham, in Kent.

Guests arriving without a car will want to know that the nearest station is Selling station, about 0.6 miles east. Parks such as Mount Ephraim Gardens generally need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan.

Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.
