About our taco bar hire in Piddinghoe
Fillings are agreed with you, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. It suits birthday parties and marquee parties, serving pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a hamlet or village like Piddinghoe, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Around midsummer it stays light in Piddinghoe until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Ask the venue about power and water

Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.

Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
