Taco bar hire in Horney Common, from our truck or trailer
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. It works well for birthday celebrations and retirement parties, serving guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Near Horney Common, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Horney Common: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Horney Common?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is Horney Common close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
What does taco bar hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
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.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For event organisers in Horney Common
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Planning a taco bar in Horney Common
Horney Common is about 3 miles north of Uckfield, in East Sussex. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Horney Common and nearby villages. Horney Common is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we can bring taco bar hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Horney Common to Royal Tunbridge Wells (about 12 miles away).
Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Buxted station is about 2.8 miles away. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Horney Common, 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.
We cater events across TN22. Whether your event is on Old Forge Lane and Tylers Lane or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. We also serve at events in Nutley (2 miles north-west), Duddleswell (2 miles north), Furner's Green (3 miles west), Chelwood Common (3 miles north-west) and Chelwood Gate (4 miles north-west). Further out, we also cater in Lewes (10 miles south), Hailsham (13 miles south-east), Crowborough (5 miles north-east), Uckfield (3 miles south), Newhaven (15 miles south) and Peacehaven (15 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Uckfield Community Hospital (3.5 miles south) and Tickerage Castle (4.3 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Brickfield Meadow.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Foresters Arms (0.6 miles north-east)
How it compares
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Why us?
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Fast service, even with a queue

The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In Horney Common, 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. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Tell us about your event and your guests.
- You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.
- Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- Afterwards, we pack down and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.

Why choose taco bar hire in Horney Common?
You aren’t limited to places a truck can park, like a barn, courtyard or hall, if the venue agrees.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Staff parties
- Garden parties

If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Christ Church, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission.
