Taco bar hire for Bodiam events
How it works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Evenings in Bodiam stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and 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.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

How our taco bar hire works in Bodiam
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. At summer garden parties and leaving and retirement parties, we can serve guacamole, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
In a hamlet or village like Bodiam, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Taco bar hire in Bodiam: local tips
Bodiam is about 10 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of Bodiam or on the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Bodiam is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we can bring taco bar hire. You can also see our page for Royal Tunbridge Wells, about 15 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Great Dixter (2.5 miles east) and Durhamford Manor (4.5 miles south). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off. After a christening or wedding at a church such as The Parish Church of St Giles, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. Venues in and around the High Weald National Landscape, within about 7 miles of Bodiam, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.
We cover events in every part of the TN32 postcode area and the streets around it. If your venue is just outside Bodiam, we also cover Sandhurst Cross (1 mile north-east), Sandhurst (2 miles north-east), Little Conghurst (2 miles north), Four Throws (2 miles north) and Linkhill (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cater in Hastings (10 miles south), Bexhill-on-Sea (11 miles south), St Leonards (10 miles south), Hastings Old Town (11 miles south), Belmont (10 miles south) and Heathfield (13 miles west).
- Local schools include Bodiam Church of England Primary School (less than half a mile south-east)
- Local pubs include Castle Inn (less than half a mile south-east)
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Choose at least one vegan filling
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
How we price taco bar hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and the route in
- What the venue already provides
- The length of service
- The menu you choose
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your menu ideas
- Where the event is
- Your date and when you want service to start
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Taco bar hire or something else?
Pizza is the usual crowd-pleaser, but a taco bar gives guests more say over what they eat. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What we offer in Bodiam

Questions from Bodiam
Which station should guests use for Bodiam?
Robertsbridge station, about 3.3 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Giles?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We run the station ourselves, so you don’t need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
