Taco bars for events around Brightling
Brightling is about 9 miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Events in Brightling are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day.

Guests arriving without a car will want to know that the nearest station is Robertsbridge station, about 3.3 miles north-east. Around Brightling, historic houses include Bateman's (1.9 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. Venues in and around the High Weald National Landscape, within about 3 miles of Brightling, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.
We cater events across the TN32 postcode area. From The Street and Rectory Hill or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Hollingrove (1 mile east), Twelve Oaks (1 mile south), Oxley's Green (1 mile north-east), Netherfield (3 miles south-east) and Penhurst (3 miles south).

How our taco bar hire works in Brightling
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese. We serve pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits family get-togethers and engagement parties.
For a rural spot like Brightling, 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 will confirm power and water with you. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
