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 photo of the space helps. Winter evenings in Luccombe Village close in by about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.

How our taco bar hire works in Luccombe Village
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. It suits team lunches and wedding day food, with pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Near Luccombe Village, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

No room for the truck at home? A hall or club near Luccombe Village with parking close by could host the taco bar. Around Luccombe Village, historic houses include Rylstone Manor (0.7 miles north) and Haseley Manor (4.1 miles north-west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off. The coast is within about 2 miles of Luccombe Village, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites usually need permission.

Luccombe Village: your questions answered
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
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.
Do you cater at coastal events near Luccombe Village?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Set out seating near the bar
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Send us allergy details in writing
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
