Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we are needed on site

About our taco bar hire in Brighton and Hove
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. At garden parties and team lunches, we’ll put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Some gardens in Brighton and Hove can only be reached on foot, which is where a taco bar helps: the truck stays on the drive or road, with permission, and the station goes in the garden. Tell us how far it is from the parking spot to the garden. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Step by step
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. In Brighton and Hove, 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 typically served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Taco bars for events around Brighton and Hove
Brighton and Hove is in England. Whether your event is in the middle of Brighton and Hove or on the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover all 30 towns and villages across Brighton and Hove.
Nearby historic houses include Portslade Manor (1.3 miles west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (1.7 miles east). 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. After a christening or wedding at a church such as Holy Cross Church, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. With the South Downs National Park about 7 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Brighton and Hove. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload. Coastal events near Brighton and Hove, within about 3 miles of the sea, bring wind into the planning. Tell us where the taco bar would go and where we can park to unload.
We cover events in every part of BN3, BN41 and BN1 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include New Church Road, Princes Square and Station Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Main roads around Brighton and Hove include the A270 and A293, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. Close by, we cover events in Aldrington (1 mile south-west), West Blatchington (1 mile north-east), Hove (1 mile south-east), Prestonville (2 miles east) and Brunswick (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cater in Brighton (3 miles east), Carlton Hill (3 miles east), Hanover (3 miles east), Kemptown (3 miles south-east), Hollingdean (3 miles east) and Whitehawk (4 miles east).
A little further out are British Engineerium (0.7 miles north-east) and Churchill Square (2.1 miles south-east). The countryside around Brighton and Hove includes Thundersbarrow Hill and Ladies Mile.
- Local schools include Hove Park School (0.5 miles north-east) and The Drive Prep School (1 mile east)
- Pubs nearby include The Atlas pub (under half a mile north)
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Menu ideas
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
FAQs for Brighton and Hove
Do you cater at coastal events near Brighton and Hove?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Send us your details and we’ll quote for your event. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
