Taco bar hire in Chichester
Taco bar hire for your event in Chichester
Our taco bar travels to events across Chichester and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there is room for the table. Popular choices include burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and fresh salsas, and it’s a good fit for garden parties and engagement parties.
Not every garden in Chichester can be reached by a vehicle, so we can park nearby, with permission, and set the taco bar up in the garden. Let us know the route from where we’d park. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. In Chichester, 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. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

What affects the price in Chichester
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Travel, parking and access
- Your choice of food and drinks
- What the venue already provides
Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- What you’d like on the menu
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and when you want service to start
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Where the truck can go in Chichester
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Menu ideas
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
Chichester questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Paul?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Which station is closest to Chichester?
Chichester station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
What do you need at the venue?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We agree the timings with your venue, and guests build their own plates.
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 let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
