How our taco bar hire works in Newington
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and fresh salsas, which works well for team lunches and engagement parties.
Near Newington, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What affects the price in Newington
These are the factors that matter most:
- What’s on the menu
- How long we’re needed on site
- Travel, parking and access

- Give us separate numbers for children
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.

Common questions in Newington
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Newington?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. We fit it around your speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.

A build-your-own taco bar in Newington
Newington is about 2 miles north-east of Hythe, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the CT18 area, we can serve your guests. Newington is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Newington to Canterbury (13 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Nicholas, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Close to Newington are historic houses such as Acrise Place (3.2 miles north) and Westenhanger Castle (3.6 miles west). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before you book. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 5 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Newington. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload. With the sea within about 3 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze do not mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
Taco bar hire in CT18, CT20 and CT19 is planned around your venue and access and timings. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on School Lane, Newington Road and Boulevard D'erlanger.

What we need at the venue

- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
