Taco bar hire in Newtimber, from our food truck or trailer
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits staff parties and wedding meals.
Near Newtimber, 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. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

About the menu
Vegan fillings
Spiced mushroom, or black bean and sweet potato.
Toppings
Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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 will do the serving.
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.
Who books taco bar hire in Newtimber?
Everyone builds a plate that suits them, which cuts down on special orders.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Evening receptions
- Anniversary parties
- Working lunches

Close to Newtimber are historic houses such as Portslade Manor (4.6 miles south) and Preston Manor & Gardens (4.9 miles south-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload.

A build-your-own taco bar in Newtimber
Newtimber is about 5 miles south-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Newtimber and nearby villages. Newtimber is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we can bring taco bar hire. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 6 miles away.
By rail: Hassocks station is about 2.4 miles away. When the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of St John Evangelist, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. With the South Downs National Park about 4 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Newtimber. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.

We also serve at events in Clayton (2 miles east), Hurstpierpoint (2 miles north), Hurst Wickham (2 miles north-east), Hassocks (2 miles north-east) and Keymer (3 miles north-east).

Common questions in Newtimber
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Newtimber?
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.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
We run the station ourselves, so your hosts do not need to. We pack it away afterwards.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
Our service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the bar around them.
How it compares
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why us?
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- A menu agreed with you

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
