Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
About our taco bar hire in Hassocks
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily. At summer garden parties and engagement parties, we can serve warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
For a place the size of Hassocks, a garden or a hall nearby can suit a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Tell us where we can park and unload. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

A build-your-own taco bar in Hassocks

For guests coming by train, Hassocks has its own station, Hassocks station. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 2 miles of Hassocks, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.

About the menu
Guacamole
Guacamole made fresh, with lime and coriander.
Warm tortillas
Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We keep a steady supply going.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.
Our truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar, quoted with the rest.
Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Hassocks
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole

FAQs for Hassocks
We’re having a ceremony at St Francis of Assisi: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Is the taco bar staffed?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you do not need helpers. When service ends, we clear it away.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue, and guests build their own plates.
How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Hassocks, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
