Taco bar hire in Kingswood
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. A December taco bar in Kingswood will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Find out what power and water are available
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Taco bar hire for your event in Kingswood
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. At team lunches and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a small place like Kingswood, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

Kingswood: venues, access and set-up
Kingswood is about 5 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. From the centre of Kingswood to the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Kingswood is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring taco bar hire.
Close to Kingswood are historic houses such as Leeds Castle (1.5 miles north) and Stoneacre (2.9 miles north-west).

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:

- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Give us separate numbers for children
After the last plate, we take the bar down, then load our vehicle.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
Comparing your options
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, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Common questions in Kingswood
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Kingswood?
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.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
