Taco bar hire in Southfleet: local tips
Southfleet is about 2 miles south-west of Northfleet, in Kent. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Southfleet. We cater in 922 places across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Southfleet to Maidstone (about 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 Southfleet are historic houses such as Cobham College (3.6 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.
Anywhere in DA13, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. From Red Street, Gloxinia Road and Brakefield Road or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How we price taco bar hire
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- What’s on the menu
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, your venue or DA13 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.

Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear area in front of the station
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Southfleet
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Do you come out to small places like Southfleet?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What does taco bar hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
