Taco bar hire for East Marden events
How our taco bar hire works in East Marden
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. At family celebrations and back-garden gatherings, we can serve pickled onions and toppings, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a hamlet or village like East Marden, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Questions from East Marden
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
Is East Marden close to London?
It’s about 51 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We agree the timings with your venue.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
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.
How does a taco bar work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests build their own tacos. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Popular choices
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own.

Where the truck can go in East Marden
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

Planning help
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
