Taco bar hire for your event in Hollingbury
We bring taco bars to events in and around Hollingbury: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there is room for the table. Popular choices include guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas, which works well for birthday celebrations and company parties.
In and around Hollingbury, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Common questions in Hollingbury
Can you cater a reception after a service at Fountain Centre?
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.
Could you serve in Wild Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
For event organisers in Hollingbury
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Popular choices
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches so there is always one ready. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Vegan fillings
Vegan guests get a proper filling of their own.
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. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

How it works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. In Hollingbury, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Tell us about your event and your guests.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- At the end, we take everything away.

Planning a taco bar in Hollingbury
Hollingbury is about 2 miles north of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. For an event in Hollingbury, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Hollingbury. Hollingbury is one of 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove we cover.
Before you plan a taco bar in Wild Park, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement. Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Moulsecoomb station is about 1.1 miles away. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 5 miles of Hollingbury, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our food truck or trailer could go. Hollingbury is within about 3 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 usually need permission.
This part of Brighton and Hove takes in BN1, so your event can be anywhere in it. Whether your event is on Keymer Road, Warmdene Road and Carden Avenue or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. If your venue is just outside Hollingbury, we also cover Patcham (1 mile west), Withdean (1 mile south-west), Hollingdean (1 mile south), Preston (1 mile south-west) and Westdene (1 mile west).
