Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Evenings in East Lavant stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. After dusk, lights over the station help guests build their tacos.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

East Lavant questions
Is East Lavant close to London?
About 53 miles from central London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
How much is a taco bar?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we’ll quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. Service is timed around speeches and photos. There’s more in our taco bar guide.
What if a vehicle cannot 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.
