About our taco bar hire in Newingreen
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. At retirement parties and milestone birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and burrito bowls.
In a hamlet or village like Newingreen, 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. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. In Newingreen, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- 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.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Taco bar hire in Newingreen: local tips
Newingreen is about 2 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Events in Newingreen are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Newingreen to Canterbury (13 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (0.5 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. When the service is at a church such as Pedlinge Chapel, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Newingreen, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by. Newingreen is within about 3 miles of the sea, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites normally need permission.
Anywhere in CT21, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Stone Street and Ashford Road or the roads around them. If your venue is just outside Newingreen, we also cover Westenhanger (1 mile north), Berwick (1 mile south-west), Lympne (1 mile south-west), Pedlinge (1 mile south-east) and Sandling (1 mile east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Ashford (8 miles north-west), Canterbury (13 miles north), Dover (12 miles east), Folkestone (6 miles east), Tower Hamlets (12 miles east) and Hawkinge (6 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find Lympne Castle (1.2 miles south-west) and Royal Victoria Hospital (5.9 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Tolsford Hill and Hatch Park.
- Local schools include Brockhill Park Performing Arts College (1.4 miles east)
- Local pubs include The Royal Oak Public House (within half a mile south)
FAQs for Newingreen
How far is Newingreen from London?
About 57 miles from central London.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Pedlinge Chapel?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
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.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What should the venue provide?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. We confirm power and water when you book.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Comparing your options
Pizza is a safe choice, but a taco bar lets every guest design their own plate. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. 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. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Details of power and water near the bar
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
