Taco bar hire in Aldrington, from our food truck or trailer
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. It suits summer garden parties and retirement parties, with pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas.
A place like Aldrington may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

After a christening or wedding at a church such as St Philip's Church, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. Close to Aldrington are historic houses such as Portslade Manor (1.4 miles north-west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (2.1 miles north-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.

Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by. Aldrington is within about 3 miles of the sea, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites generally need permission.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Aldrington
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Aldrington close to London?
It is about 46 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
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.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Aldrington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Share a few details about the event.
- You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.
- We check power, water and access with your venue.
- We arrive, unload and lay out warm tortillas, fillings and toppings.
- At the end, we take everything away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Let us know the timings for the day
Getting a price
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Planning help
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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
