Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving, and nobody waits long. For wedding day food and garden parties, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar for your guests.
Near Chailey, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Chailey questions
Which station should guests use for Chailey?
Plumpton station, about 3.1 miles south-west of the centre.
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Chailey?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
How does a taco bar work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests build their own tacos. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Who looks after the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you don’t need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. Around midsummer it stays light in Chailey until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
