Taco bar hire or something else?

Taco bar hire for your event in Balcombe Lane
We bring taco bars to events in and around Balcombe Lane: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there is room for the table. At leaving and retirement parties and back-garden gatherings, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot for your guests.
For a rural spot like Balcombe Lane, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

About the menu
Guacamole
Guacamole goes quickly on a taco bar.
Hot fillings
Fillings cooked ahead and kept hot, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Count children separately
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers, quoted for your event.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Balcombe Lane: venues, access and set-up
Balcombe Lane is about 4 miles south-east of Crawley, in West Sussex. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Balcombe Lane and nearby villages. Balcombe Lane is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover.
Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Balcombe station is about 1.3 miles away. Close to Balcombe Lane are historic houses such as Tyes Place (3 miles south-west) and Priest House (3.2 miles east). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off. With the High Weald National Landscape about 8 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Balcombe Lane. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.
