Taco bar hire near Clapham
Taco bar hire in Clapham, from our food truck or trailer
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. For barn and marquee parties and summer garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a small place like Clapham, 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, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Planning a taco bar in Clapham
Clapham is about 3 miles north-west of Worthing, in West Sussex. From the centre of Clapham to the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Clapham is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we can bring taco bar hire. We cater right across the region, from Clapham to Brighton (14 miles away).
Before you plan a taco bar in Clapham Wood, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement. Close to Clapham are historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor (1.5 miles south-west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 6 miles of Clapham, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go. With the sea within about 5 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze do not mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
Taco bar hire in BN13 is planned around your venue and access. Local streets include The Street, Long Furlong and Church Close; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Clapham sits on or near the A280, which makes travel to your event easy. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Patching (1 mile north-west), Cote (1 mile east), Hammerpot (2 miles west), Durrington (2 miles south-east) and Hangleton (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Worthing (3 miles south-east), Bognor Regis (11 miles west), Chichester (14 miles west), Littlehampton (4 miles south-west), Shoreham-by-Sea (8 miles east) and Lancing (6 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Museum of Sussex Folklore (2.9 miles south-east) and Old Castle (2.9 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include WWT Arundel and Highdown Hill.
