About our taco bar hire in Ditchling Common
The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, as long as the venue agrees. It works well for wedding day food and barn and marquee parties, serving pickled onions and toppings, burrito bowls and fresh salsas.
In a small place like Ditchling Common, 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. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
