Taco bar hire in Catherington, served fresh
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. It suits leaving and retirement parties and wedding meals, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a small place like Catherington, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

What else we do in Catherington
Catherington: your questions answered
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Catherington?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.

Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
