Taco bar hire in Blackness
About our taco bar hire in Blackness
Our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the taco bar to match. It suits wedding day food and birthday celebrations, with burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings.
Near Blackness, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
What happens on the day
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. Winter evenings in Blackness close in by about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.

- You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.

- We arrive, unload and lay out warm tortillas, fillings and toppings.

Planning a taco bar in Blackness
Blackness is about 2 miles north of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. From the centre of Blackness to the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in 289 places in East Sussex. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 18 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Michelham Priory (4.4 miles north-west) and Horselunges Manor (4.9 miles north-west). 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. Guests leaving a church like St Luke's Church could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Blackness, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. 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. The coast is within about 4 miles of Blackness, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites usually need permission.
For taco bar hire in BN24, we plan around your venue and the route in. Streets in the area include Forge Place, Hailsham Road and Hankham Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Hankham (1 mile north-east), Stone Cross (1 mile south-east), Polegate (2 miles west), Lower Willingdon (2 miles south-west) and Willingdon (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Hastings (12 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (8 miles east), Seaford (9 miles west), Lewes (13 miles west), Hailsham (3 miles north-west) and St Leonards (12 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find Pevensey Court House Museum And Gaol (1.9 miles east) and Eastbourne District General Hospital (2.5 miles south-west). Open spaces near Blackness include Combe Hill.
- Schools near Blackness include Causeway School (0.9 miles south)
- Nearby, you will find The Red Lion pub (within half a mile south)
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- A clear area in front of the station
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we offer
- Two to four fillings
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Set out seating near the bar
- Tell us when guests should eat
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Comparing your options
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. At the hatch, we make each order; at the bar, guests build their own. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Menus chosen with you
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Events in Blackness and across East Sussex
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
