How our taco bar hire works in East Saltdean
Truck and trailer bookings normally suit around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. On the menu are guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it suits family get-togethers and team socials.
Around East Saltdean, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. If the truck can’t reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. In East Saltdean, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
How to prepare
