Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
About our taco bar hire in Hollingdean
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, as long as the venue agrees. It works well for leaving dos and engagement parties, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar.
Around Hollingdean, 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 food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

What taco bar hire costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Serving staff
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
- What the venue already provides
There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Common questions in Hollingdean
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Richard's?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Which station is closest to Hollingdean?
Guests can use Moulsecoomb station, about 0.5 miles east of Hollingdean.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
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.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Brighton and Hove included. Find your area.

Taco bar hire or something else?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the bar, guests build their own. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

Taco bar hire in Hollingdean: local tips
Hollingdean is about 1 mile north of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. From the centre of Hollingdean to the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in all 30 towns and villages across Brighton and Hove, from the larger towns to small villages.
Before you plan a taco bar in William Clarke Park, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Moulsecoomb station, about 0.5 miles east. With the South Downs National Park about 6 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Hollingdean. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload. With the sea within about 2 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.
We serve at events all over the BN1 and BN2 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Mayo Road, Dewe Road and Rugby Road or the roads around them. We also serve at events in Brighton (1 mile south), Preston (1 mile west), Moulsecoomb (1 mile east), Prestonville (1 mile south-west) and Hanover (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Brighton and Hove (3 miles west), Aldrington (3 miles west), Hangleton (3 miles west), Saltdean (5 miles south-east), East Saltdean (5 miles south-east) and Roedean (3 miles south-east). Hollingdean is one of the larger places we cover in Brighton and Hove, with lots of choice for events.
A little further out are Brighton General Hospital (1.1 miles south-east) and Clayton Castle (4.6 miles north). The countryside around Hollingdean includes Newmarket Hill and Bevendean Down.
- Local schools include Varndean School (0.5 miles north-west) and Varndean College (0.8 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include The Pub at Fiveways (under half a mile west)
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Hollingdean until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
