How our taco bar hire works in Coldwaltham
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Popular choices include slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings, and it is a good fit for barn parties and staff parties.
In a hamlet or village like Coldwaltham, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. A December taco bar in Coldwaltham will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Planning a taco bar in Coldwaltham
Coldwaltham is about 9 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Tell us where your event in Coldwaltham will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up. We serve in 371 places across West Sussex. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Coldwaltham to Chichester (12 miles away).

Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 3 miles of Coldwaltham, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our food truck or trailer could go.

Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Send us allergy details in writing
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

Coldwaltham: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Giles: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Coldwaltham?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
