Taco bar hire in River, from our food truck or trailer
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too, with licensing checked with you. On the menu are guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and a build-your-own taco bar, and it’s a good fit for wedding breakfasts and company parties.
For a rural spot like River, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

For event organisers in River
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
River: your questions answered
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like River?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Do you cater in River?
We do. River is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
How it compares
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What we offer in River
- Menus chosen with you
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A truck or trailer that comes to you

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in River until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

These are the factors that matter most:
- Food, drinks or both
- Whether you need disposables
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your menu ideas
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Send us allergy details in writing
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

We cover all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from River to Chichester (about 12 miles away).

River is within about 4 miles of the South Downs National Park, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
