Taco bar hire in Elsted, from our food truck or trailer
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. On the menu are guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls, and it suits working lunches and wedding meals.
In a hamlet or village like Elsted, 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. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

A build-your-own taco bar in Elsted
Elsted is about 5 miles south-east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. Wherever your event is in the GU29 area, we’ll come to your venue or site, as long as there’s access. Elsted is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we can bring taco bar hire. We cater right across the region, from Elsted to Chichester (9 miles away).
Around Elsted, historic houses include Uppark (2.7 miles south-west) and Cowdray House (4.7 miles east). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off. With the South Downs National Park about 2 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Elsted. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.
For taco bar hire in GU29, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. We also serve at events in East Harting (1 mile west), Elsted Marsh (1 mile north-east), Didling (1 mile south-east), Nyewood (2 miles north-west) and Dumpford (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (14 miles south-east), Chichester (9 miles south), Emsworth (9 miles south-west), Portfield (10 miles south), Yapton (14 miles south-east) and East Wittering (14 miles south).

Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. Around midsummer it stays light in Elsted until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Name one person we can ask on the day

DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Perfect for your event in Elsted
It gets people talking: guests compare fillings and swap topping ideas as they go.
Whatever the occasion, our food truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We can cater:
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Wedding evening food
- Wedding breakfasts
- Family celebrations
After a christening or wedding at a church such as The Parish Church of St Paul, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos.

Common questions in Elsted
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Elsted?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
