Taco bar hire for your event in Polegate
We bring taco bars to events in and around Polegate: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there’s room for the table. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, pickled onions and toppings and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for birthday parties and anniversary parties.
Near Polegate, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Polegate: your questions answered
Do you cater at coastal events near Polegate?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Which station is closest to Polegate?
Polegate has its own station: Polegate station.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. Service is timed around speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
What does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We run the station ourselves, so your hosts do not need to. When service ends, we clear it away.
For planners, venues and organisers

Step by step
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. In Polegate, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
