Taco bar hire for your event in Newnham
Our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. It suits back-garden gatherings and marquee parties, serving a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas.
For a rural spot like Newnham, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

DIY taco night or 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.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Taco bar hire in Newnham: local tips
Newnham is about 4 miles south-west of Faversham, in Kent. For an event in Newnham, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. We cater in all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
Thinking of a taco bar in Doddington Place Gardens? Catering in a public park usually needs the landowner’s permission, so check first. Close to Newnham are historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (2.2 miles south-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. Newnham is within about 8 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.

What’s the nearest station to Newnham for guests?
The closest is Teynham station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
