Taco bar hire in Poynings, served fresh
Our taco bar travels to events across Poynings and the surrounding area: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces. We serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it’s a good fit for milestone birthdays and leaving dos.
In a small place like Poynings, 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 cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Poynings: venues, access and set-up
Poynings is about 4 miles north of Brighton and Hove, in West Sussex. Wherever your event is in the BN45 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. Poynings is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover.
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like The Church of the Holy Trinity, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. By rail: Hassocks station is about 3.3 miles away. Poynings is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by. The coast is within about 6 miles of Poynings, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites usually need permission.
Anywhere in BN45, we can bring taco bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include The Street and Cora's Walk, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Other places close to Poynings for taco bar hire include Fulking (1 mile south-west), Hangleton (3 miles south), Portslade (4 miles south), Castle Town (4 miles west) and Kingston by Sea (4 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Crawley (15 miles north), Horsham (13 miles north-west), Worthing (10 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (9 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (5 miles north-east) and Littlehampton (15 miles south-west).
Nearby you will also find The Budding Foundation Museum of Gardening (2.9 miles north-east) and Southlands Hospital (4.4 miles south-west). Not far away are Wolstonbury Hill and Woods Mill.
- Pubs nearby include Royal Oak pub (within half a mile south)
Poynings: your questions answered
Do you cater at coastal events near Poynings?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, West Sussex included. See all areas.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Book the truck or trailer for evening food after a daytime taco bar.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many guests we’re serving
- What the venue already provides
- Timings and hours
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- A picture of where we’d park
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What you’d like on the menu
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
