About our taco bar hire in Carlton Hill
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. We serve pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar, and it is a good fit for family celebrations and team lunches.
In a smaller place like Carlton Hill, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Let us know about the drive and parking. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Count children separately
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Choose at least one vegan filling
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.

Taco bar hire in Carlton Hill: local tips
Carlton Hill is about 1 mile south of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Give us the address of your event in Carlton Hill, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. We cater in 30 places across Brighton and Hove, from the larger towns to small villages.
Parks such as Queen's Park typically need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. Historic houses near Carlton Hill include Royal Pavilion (within half a mile west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (1.5 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 you book. Carlton Hill is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, 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.
