Taco bar hire in Barcombe Cross, served fresh
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. We serve fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it’s a good fit for engagement parties and family get-togethers.
For a rural spot like Barcombe Cross, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Barcombe Cross
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Barcombe Cross?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Francis of Assisi?
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 will check the access.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Step by step
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. A December taco bar in Barcombe Cross will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Find out what power and water are available
