Questions from East Ashling
Do you cater in villages like East Ashling?
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.
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the bar to suit.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Taco bar hire in East Ashling, served fresh
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. It works well for birthday celebrations and christenings and family parties, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and fresh salsas.
Somewhere as small as East Ashling, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. 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. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

How it compares
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- A clear quote
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- We cover East Ashling and the whole of West Sussex

For event organisers in East Ashling
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

Close to East Ashling are historic houses such as West Dean House (4 miles north-east) and Goodwood House (4.2 miles east).

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area in front of the station
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we offer
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings

A closer look at the menu
Guacamole
Guacamole goes quickly on a taco bar.
Hot fillings
You might choose two or three fillings, including a vegan one. You choose them with us.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
