Taco bar hire for your event in Boxgrove
Our truck and trailer service normally 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. At barn parties and working lunches, we can serve warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot for your guests.
For a rural spot like Boxgrove, 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’ll confirm power and water with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

How the day works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In Boxgrove, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Share a few details about the event.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- Afterwards, we pack down and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

A build-your-own taco bar in Boxgrove
Boxgrove is about 3 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. For an event in Boxgrove, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. Boxgrove is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover.
When the service is at a church such as The Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaize, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Nearby historic houses include Goodwood House (1.5 miles north-west) and West Dean House (4.3 miles north-west). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking. With the sea within about 6 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze don’t mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
This part of West Sussex takes in PO18. Your event could be at a home on The Street, Priory Close and Kirkby Close or the roads around them. We also serve at events in Halnaker (1 mile north), Tangmere (1 mile south), Strettington (1 mile west), Waterbeach (1 mile north-west) and Westerton (1 mile west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Worthing (14 miles east), Bognor Regis (5 miles south), Chichester (3 miles south-west), Selsey (9 miles south), Littlehampton (9 miles east) and Emsworth (10 miles west).
A little further out are Chichester Centre (2.7 miles west) and Tote Copse Castle (1.9 miles south-east). Open spaces near Boxgrove include Levin Down.
- Local schools include Ormiston Six Villages Academy (2.5 miles south-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Winterton Arms Public House (0.9 miles east)
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions about fillings and allergens.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Questions from Boxgrove
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
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.
Which station is closest to Boxgrove?
The closest is Chichester station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
What should the venue provide?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. We confirm power and water when you book.
What’s on the menu
Salsas
Guests add as much heat as they like.
Vegan fillings
Black bean and sweet potato, or spiced mushrooms.
Should I do it myself?
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 dishes for guests with allergies.

How it compares
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
