Can I do a taco night myself?

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Mexican bar hire or something else?

A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. A staffed bar keeps everything under control. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Why us?

  • Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
  • We cover Thorney Island and the whole of West Sussex
  • Fast service, even with a queue
  • Access, space and power checked in advance

Take a look at how we price or our guide to catering costs.

What Mexican bar hire costs

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • What’s on the menu
  • Staff for serving and the bar
  • Food, drinks or both
  • Parking and the route in

Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.

Details that help

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
  • Where the event is
  • A picture of where we’d park
  • Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote.

Common questions in Thorney Island

How far is Thorney Island from central London?

About 59 miles from central London.

Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St Nicholas?

Yes. The church itself is not 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.

How much space do you need?

Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.

How much is a food truck for an event?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.

Do you provide bar staff?

Our bar staff run the bar. Responsible serving comes first.

Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

Step by step

We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. A late-September party in Thorney Island loses the light at about 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:55pm.

  1. Send us the date, venue and numbers.
  2. We talk through licensing with you.
  3. We agree a drinks menu.
  4. We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
  5. We pack down when the bar closes.

Before we arrive

  • Find out what power and water are available
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
