Your questions about taco bar hire in North Chailey
Do you cater 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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of Our Lady?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
How much is a taco bar?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the bar around them.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
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.
Taco bar hire for your event in North Chailey
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. Popular choices include burrito bowls, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar, and it’s a good fit for milestone birthdays and family celebrations.
Somewhere as small as North Chailey, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Planning for every diet
