A build-your-own taco bar in Newington
Newington is about 3 miles west of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Newington. Newington is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Maidstone, about 8 miles away.
Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Newington has its own station, Newington station. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Mary, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. Newington is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, 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.
We cover events in every part of the ME9 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Station Road, High Street and London Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Taco bar hire in Newington, from our truck or trailer
Our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the taco bar around them. It works well for evening receptions and marquee parties, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, burrito bowls and fresh salsas.
Near Newington, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Prices and what affects them

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

Why choose taco bar hire in Newington?
Guests on special diets don’t need a separate meal, since corn tortillas and vegan fillings sit with everything else.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Anniversary parties
- Team socials
- Milestone birthdays
- Marquee parties
No room for the truck at home? A hall or club near Newington with parking close by could host the taco bar.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
