About our taco bar hire in Newtown
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. At birthday parties and back-garden gatherings, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings for your guests.
Around Newtown, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Planning a taco bar in Newtown
Newtown is about 1 mile south-east of Ashford, in Kent. For taco bar hire in Newtown, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We serve in 922 places across Kent. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Newtown to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Godinton House (2.9 miles north-west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off. If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Christ Church, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Newtown, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.
This part of Kent takes in TN24 and TN23, so your event can be anywhere in it. We can cater an event on streets such as Bath Road, Mead Road and Royds Road.

Common questions in Newtown
Could you serve in Ashford Green Corridors?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
How far is Newtown from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Do you cover Newtown?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Newtown is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers, quoted for your event.

How it works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. In Newtown, 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’s dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.

- You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.

- We arrive, unload and lay out warm tortillas, fillings and toppings.
- At the end, we take everything away.
How to prepare
