Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Give us separate numbers for children
After the last plate, we take the bar down and leave the spot tidy.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
Taco bar hire in Ditchling, from our food truck or trailer
Fillings are agreed with you, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. It suits leaving and retirement parties and team lunches, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and pickled onions and toppings.
Near Ditchling, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why book with us
- A menu agreed with you
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Catering across West Sussex, including Ditchling
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. In Ditchling, 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 usually served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Ditchling
Could you serve our guests after a service at Ditchling Unitarian Chapel?
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’ll check the access.
How far is Ditchling from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will confirm what’s needed. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Is the taco bar staffed?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so your hosts don’t need to. We pack it away afterwards.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
