Taco bar hire for your event in Oving
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. It works well for marquee parties and company parties, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, guacamole and burrito bowls.
In a small place like Oving, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set 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 the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Menu ideas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Set out seating near the bar
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Oving: your questions answered
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Oving?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Is Oving close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
Planning a taco bar in Oving
Oving is about 3 miles east of Chichester, in West Sussex. We bring taco bar hire to gardens, halls and venues around Oving and nearby villages. We serve in 371 places across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
When the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of St Andrew, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Around Oving, historic houses include Goodwood House (2.4 miles north). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off. Oving is within about 5 miles of the sea, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites usually need permission.
Wherever your event is in PO20, we can bring taco bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on Church Lane, Sampsons Drive and Highfield Lane or anywhere nearby, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access. We also serve at events in Shopwyke (1 mile west), Tangmere (1 mile north), Maudlin (1 mile north-west), Merston (1 mile south) and Boxgrove (1 mile north). Further out, we also cater in Worthing (14 miles east), Bognor Regis (4 miles south-east), Chichester (3 miles west), Selsey (8 miles south), Littlehampton (9 miles east) and Emsworth (9 miles west).
Nearby you will also find St Richard's Hospital (2.1 miles west) and Tote Copse Castle (1.4 miles east).
- Nearby schools include Tangmere Primary Academy (1.2 miles north) and Chichester High School For Girls (2.4 miles west)
