How our taco bar hire works in Bighton
We bring taco bars to events in and around Bighton: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there is room for the table. It suits wedding meals and staff parties, serving burrito bowls, pickled onions and toppings and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as Bighton, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. Evenings in Bighton stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. After dusk, lights over the station help guests build their tacos.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Give us separate numbers for children
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers, quoted for your event.
How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Menus chosen with you

Your questions about taco bar hire in Bighton
How far is Bighton from London?
It’s about 52 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Bighton?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. We fit it around your speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We run the station ourselves, so your hosts don’t need to. When service ends, we clear it away.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you come to Bighton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Bighton is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
