Taco bar hire in Lewes, from our truck or trailer
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily. It suits leaving and retirement parties and wedding evening food, with warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Not every garden in Lewes can be reached by a vehicle, which is where a taco bar helps: the truck stays on the drive or road, with permission, and the station goes in the garden. Tell us how far it is from the parking spot to the garden. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

What affects the price in Lewes
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Parking and the route in
- What the venue already provides
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.

Where the truck can go in Lewes
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we offer
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. Around midsummer it stays light in Lewes until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Lewes
Is it possible to have you in Railway Land?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Lewes?
Lewes station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre.
How does a taco bar work?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We run the station ourselves, so your hosts do not need to. We pack it away afterwards.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
