About our taco bar hire in Down Street
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. It works well for engagement parties and family get-togethers, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, burrito bowls and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In a small place like Down Street, 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, though we still need to unload within a short walk. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need disposables
- The length of service
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you are ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
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. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
For event organisers in Down Street
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Common questions in Down Street
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Down Street?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
What’s the nearest station to Down Street for guests?
Guests can use Uckfield station, about 2.6 miles south-east of Down Street.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
What’s on the menu
Vegan fillings
Spiced mushroom, or black bean and sweet potato.
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches so there is always one ready. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
