How our taco bar hire works in Icklesham
Our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the taco bar around them. Popular choices include warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and fresh salsas, and it is a good fit for christenings and family parties and barn and marquee parties.
Somewhere as small as Icklesham, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.

How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.

Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.

Step by step
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Icklesham until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.

Icklesham: venues, access and set-up
Icklesham is about 6 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Tell us where your event in Icklesham will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up. Icklesham is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we can bring taco bar hire. You can also see our page for Royal Tunbridge Wells, about 23 miles away.
After a christening or wedding at a church such as The Parish Church of St Nicholas, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. Guests arriving without a car will want to know that the nearest station is Winchelsea station, about 2 miles north-east. With the sea within about 4 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze don’t mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
We cover events in every part of the TN36 postcode area. From Tithe Barn Field, Manor Close and High Fords or anywhere nearby, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access. If your venue is just outside Icklesham, we also cover Broad Street (1 mile west), Cock Marling (2 miles north), Udimore (2 miles north), Three Oaks (2 miles south-west) and Broadland Row (3 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Hastings (6 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (10 miles south-west), St Leonards (7 miles south-west), Hastings Old Town (5 miles south-west), Belmont (5 miles south-west) and Hollington (6 miles south-west).
A little further out are Camber Castle (3.2 miles east) and Winchelsea Court Hall Museum (1.9 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Rye Harbour Nature Reserve.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- A level area for the taco-bar table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

What taco bar hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The menu you choose
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
