About our taco bar hire in Halnaker
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too, with licensing checked with you. For staff parties and wedding day food, we’ll put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and burrito bowls and more.
In a hamlet or village like Halnaker, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

A build-your-own taco bar in Halnaker
Halnaker is about 3 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Give us the address of your event in Halnaker, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. Halnaker is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover.
Close to Halnaker are historic houses such as Goodwood House (1.4 miles west) and West Dean House (4 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. For guests coming by train, Chichester station is about 3.8 miles away. With the sea within about 6 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze do not mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
Anywhere in PO18, we can bring taco bar hire to you. Streets in the area include The Street, Stame Road and Oakford Park, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Other places close to Halnaker for taco bar hire include Boxgrove (1 mile south), Waterbeach (1 mile west), Tangmere (1 mile south), Strettington (1 mile south-west) and Westerton (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include Worthing (14 miles east), Bognor Regis (5 miles south), Chichester (3 miles south-west), Selsey (10 miles south), Littlehampton (9 miles south-east) and Emsworth (10 miles west).

Perfect for your event in Halnaker
It gets people talking: people chat about salsas and fillings while they build.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Evening receptions
- Office lunches
- Anniversary parties
- Christenings and family parties
When the service is at a church such as The Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaize, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.

Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
FAQs for Halnaker
Is Halnaker close to London?
It is about 51 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Halnaker?
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.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Is the taco bar staffed?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. We agree the timings with your venue.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service typically 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.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
After the last plate, we take the bar down and leave the spot tidy.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
