Taco bar hire in Penhurst, from our food truck or trailer
The toppings are where guests get creative: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema. It works well for working lunches and anniversary parties, serving guacamole, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar.
Near Penhurst, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions about fillings and allergens.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers, quoted for your event.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Menu ideas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Vegan fillings
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Questions from Penhurst
Will you travel to a small place like Penhurst?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you serve in Ashburnham Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you cater in Penhurst?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Penhurst and across East Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
