Around Herstmonceux, historic houses include Horselunges Manor (3.1 miles west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off. Herstmonceux is within about 8 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.

DIY taco night or 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.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Questions from Herstmonceux
We’re having a ceremony at Herstmonceux Free Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Herstmonceux from central London?
It is about 46 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How does taco bar hire work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
What areas do you cover?
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 take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. We fit it around your speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.

The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. Winter evenings in Herstmonceux close in by about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
