Taco bar hire in Funtington
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A December taco bar in Funtington will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Taco bar hire for your event in Funtington
Our taco bar travels to events across Funtington and the surrounding area: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces. On the menu are slow-cooked fillings kept hot, burrito bowls and fresh salsas, and it suits family get-togethers and barn parties.
Somewhere as small as Funtington, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. 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 serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Count children separately
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.

Questions from Funtington
Do you come out to small places like Funtington?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Funtington?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
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.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
What should the venue provide?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we’ll check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
