Lancing questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Brooklands Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
We’re having a ceremony at St. Michael & All Angels: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
What does taco bar hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Do you cater in Lancing?
Yes, we do. Lancing is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How our taco bar hire works in Lancing
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. For wedding day food and team lunches, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings.
In a smaller place like Lancing, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Let us know about the drive and parking. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Taco bar hire or something else?
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- The number of people
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Travel, parking and access
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What you’d like on the menu
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A December taco bar in Lancing will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Share a few details about the event.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- At the end, we take everything away.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Find out what power and water are available
