FAQs for Balcombe
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Balcombe?
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.
How far is Balcombe from London?
It is about 31 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How does taco bar hire work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
Taco bar hire in Balcombe, from our truck or trailer
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. It suits back-garden gatherings and office lunches, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings.
In a hamlet or village like Balcombe, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
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.
Who books taco bar hire in Balcombe?
Vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free guests eat from the same table.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:

Where the truck can go in Balcombe
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we offer
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. Around midsummer it stays light in Balcombe until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Taco bar hire in Balcombe: local tips
Balcombe is about 4 miles north of Haywards Heath, in West Sussex. Across the RH17 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. We cater in all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Guests leaving a church like The Parish Church of St Mary could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. Close to Balcombe are historic houses such as Tyes Place (2.1 miles south-west) and Priest House (3.5 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.

Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.
Anywhere in RH17, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Streets in the area include London Road, Stockcroft Road and Deanland Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.
