Taco bar hire in Colwood, from our truck or trailer
Our taco bar travels to events across Colwood and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there’s room for the table. It suits team socials and birthday parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, pickled onions and toppings and warm corn and flour tortillas.
For a rural spot like Colwood, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Decide where the table goes before the day
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Common questions in Colwood
How far is Colwood from London?
It is about 35 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you come out to small places like Colwood?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
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.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What does a taco bar cost?
We do not publish set prices, as each booking is different. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Who books taco bar hire in Colwood?

- Family get-togethers

Colwood: venues, access and set-up
Colwood is about 5 miles north-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Events in Colwood are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Colwood is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. We cater right across the region, from Colwood to Crawley (8 miles away).
Close to Colwood are historic houses such as Tyes Place (3.4 miles north-east) and Ockenden Manor (3.6 miles east). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking. The South Downs National Park is within about 8 miles of Colwood, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
Anywhere in RH17, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Whether your event is on Earwig Lane and Cross Colwood Lane or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. Other places close to Colwood for taco bar hire include Crabtree (1 mile north-west), Lower Beeding (2 miles north-west), Slaugham (3 miles north), Plummers Plain (3 miles north) and Monk's Gate (3 miles north-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Crawley (8 miles north), Horsham (6 miles north-west), Worthing (15 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (6 miles east), Burgess Hill (5 miles south-east) and East Grinstead (13 miles north-east).
A little further out are The Dene Hospital (3.8 miles south-east) and Cuckfield Museum (3.7 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Blunts Wood and Paiges Meadow.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. In Colwood, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Tell us about your event and your guests.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- Afterwards, we pack down and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Buffet trays can go cold and tired. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
