Taco bar hire for your event in East Lavington
The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. For evening receptions and birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, warm corn and flour tortillas and burrito bowls.
In a small place like East Lavington, 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. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

East Lavington is about 9 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Give us the address of your event in East Lavington, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. We cater in 371 places across West Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from East Lavington to Chichester (about 9 miles away).
After a christening or wedding at a church such as The Parish Church of St Peter, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. East Lavington is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
This part of West Sussex takes in GU28, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. We also serve at events in Duncton (1 mile north-east), Graffham (1 mile north-west), Sutton (2 miles south-east), Rotherbridge (3 miles north-east) and Selham (3 miles north).

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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 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.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Travel, parking and access
- The menu you choose
- How many guests we’re serving
- How many staff you need
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
The quickest way to a quote is to send a quick message through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Send us allergy details in writing
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. Winter evenings in East Lavington close in by about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Give us a contact for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
