Taco bar hire in Prestonville
Taco bar hire in Prestonville, from our food truck or trailer
Toppings make the bar: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, agreed with you in advance. We serve burrito bowls, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas, which works well for evening receptions and christenings and family parties.
In a smaller place like Prestonville, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Let us know about the drive and parking. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Planning a taco bar in Prestonville
Prestonville is about 1 mile west of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Across the BN1 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. We serve in all 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove.
Parks such as Preston Park normally need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. Around Prestonville, historic houses include Preston Manor & Gardens (under half a mile north) and Royal Pavilion (1.2 miles south-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. With the South Downs National Park about 6 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Prestonville. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload. Coastal events near Prestonville, within about 2 miles of the sea, bring wind into the planning. Tell us where the taco bar would go and where we can park to unload.
We cater events across the BN1, BN3 and BN88 postcode area and the streets around it. From Dyke Road, Home Road and Lloyd Road or a nearby road, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access. Prestonville sits on or near the A23, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. If your venue is just outside Prestonville, we also cover Seven Dials (1 mile south), Preston (1 mile north), West Hill (1 mile south-east), Brunswick (1 mile south) and Withdean (1 mile north). Larger places within reach include Saltdean (5 miles south-east), East Saltdean (6 miles south-east), Roedean (3 miles south-east), Rottingdean (4 miles east) and Ovingdean (4 miles south-east).
Well-known places in the area include Clayton Castle (5 miles north) and Churchill Square (1 mile south). Not far away are Whitehawk Hill and Newmarket Hill.
- Nearby schools include Brighton Hove and Sussex Sixth Form College (under half a mile south) and The Drive Prep School (0.7 miles west)
- Nearby, you’ll find Milligan House (within half a mile east)

Step by step
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. In Prestonville, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

More for events in Prestonville
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
