Taco bar hire for Castle Town events

How our taco bar hire works in Castle Town

We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It works well for working lunches and staff parties, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas.

Somewhere as small as Castle Town, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Castle Town: venues, access and set-up

Castle Town is about 3 miles north of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Castle Town and the surrounding area. We cater in 371 places across West Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Castle Town to Brighton (8 miles away).

If people are travelling in by rail, Shoreham-By-Sea station is about 3.2 miles away. Close to Castle Town are historic houses such as Portslade Manor (4.2 miles south-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. Castle Town is within about 4 miles of the sea, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites normally need permission.

Wherever your event is in BN44, we can bring taco bar hire to you. Whether your event is on Henfield Road, The Bostal and Shoreham Road or anywhere nearby, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access. For events just outside Castle Town, we cover Adur (2 miles south), Old Shoreham (3 miles south), Shoreham-by-Sea (3 miles south), Fulking (3 miles east) and Kingston by Sea (4 miles south-east). Further out, we also cater in Horsham (13 miles north), Worthing (6 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (12 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (9 miles north-east), Littlehampton (11 miles south-west) and Lancing (4 miles south).

Prices and what affects them

Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • How many staff you need
  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food
  • Plates, napkins and cutlery
  • The menu you choose

What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

What to tell us

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

  • Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
  • Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
  • A picture of where we’d park
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children

Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

Why choose taco bar hire in Castle Town?

The bar can go where a vehicle can’t, like a barn, courtyard or hall, if the venue agrees.

These are some of the occasions we serve:

  • Engagement parties
  • Wedding evening food
  • Milestone birthdays
  • Garden parties

Guests leaving a church like St Botolph's Church could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready.

Comparing caterers

  • Payment terms and deposit
  • The deadline for final numbers
  • Travel and parking costs
  • VAT, if it applies

Choosing a Mexican caterer

Should I do it myself?

Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?

The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the bar, guests build their own. There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

Questions from Castle Town

Could you come to a seaside event near Castle Town?

Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.

How far is Castle Town from central London?

It is about 44 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?

Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.

Is the food suitable for children?

Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.

Where do you cater?

We cater across London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.

Do you have vegan options?

Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.

Do you do a taco bar?

Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.

What do you need at the venue?

Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.

Before you choose a spot

We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • Power and water, which we confirm when you book
  • Room for guests to queue along the table
  • A flat spot for the taco-bar station

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

On the menu in Castle Town

  • Vegan fillings
  • Tortilla chips
  • Salsas and guacamole
  • Corn and flour tortillas
  • Two to four fillings
  • Pickled onions and toppings

See the full menu

Diets, allergies and planning

With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:

  • Send us allergy details in writing
  • Include a dietary question on your invitations
  • Flag any guest with coeliac disease
  • Agree the serving spot with your venue early

We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.

For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.

How it works

Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. In Castle Town, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.

  1. Tell us about your event and your guests.
  2. You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.
  3. Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
  4. We arrive, unload and lay out warm tortillas, fillings and toppings.
  5. Afterwards, we pack down and leave the area tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us when you want service to start
  • Find out what power and water are available
  • Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
