Taco bar hire in Hangleton
Taco bar hire for your event in Hangleton
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits anniversary parties and marquee parties.
Around Hangleton, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

FAQs for Hangleton
We are having a ceremony at St Helen's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Can you serve near the sea around Hangleton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
How does taco bar hire work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and guests build their own tacos. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

A build-your-own taco bar in Hangleton
Hangleton is about 1 mile north-west of Brighton and Hove, in Brighton and Hove. For an event in Hangleton, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Hangleton. We cover all 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove.
When the service is at a church such as St Helen's Church, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. By rail: Portslade station is about 1 mile away. With the South Downs National Park about 7 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Hangleton. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload. Hangleton is within about 4 miles of the sea, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites typically need permission.
Anywhere in BN3 and BN41, we can bring taco bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Meads Avenue, Warenne Road and Burwash Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Being close to the A2038, Hangleton is easy for us to reach for your event. If your venue is just outside Hangleton, we also cover Portslade (1 mile south-west), Southwick (2 miles south-west), Kingston by Sea (2 miles west), Fulking (3 miles north) and Shoreham-by-Sea (3 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Brighton (3 miles east), Carlton Hill (3 miles south-east), Hanover (3 miles south-east), West Hill (3 miles south-east), Brunswick (3 miles south-east) and Seven Dials (3 miles south-east).
Well-known places in the area include Clayton Castle (4.7 miles north-east) and British Engineerium (1.1 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Ladies Mile and Thundersbarrow Hill.
- Nearby schools include Blatchington Mill School and Sixth Form College (0.9 miles east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Downsman pub (within half a mile north-east)
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Set out seating near the bar
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather.
Book the truck or trailer for evening food after a daytime taco bar.
