How our taco bar hire works in Hove
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It suits engagement parties and staff parties, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and guacamole.
In a town like Hove, a taco bar can go in a hall, a marquee or a garden. It can stand next to the truck, or on its own where the truck cannot reach. We still need to park and unload nearby. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Evenings in Hove stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. After dusk, lights over the station help guests build their tacos.

How it compares
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
