Taco bar hire in Houghton
How our taco bar hire works in Houghton
The toppings are where guests get creative: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, agreed with you in advance. It suits birthday parties and summer garden parties, with fresh salsas, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings.
For a rural spot like Houghton, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Houghton questions
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Houghton?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
How far is Houghton from London?
It’s about 46 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you come to a private house?
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 does taco bar hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cover Houghton?
We do. We serve at events in Houghton and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the bar around them.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
