How our taco bar hire works in Runcton
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. It suits engagement parties and back-garden gatherings, with pickled onions and toppings, burrito bowls and warm corn and flour tortillas.
For a rural spot like Runcton, 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’ll confirm power and water with you. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

FAQs for Runcton
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Stephen: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How far is Runcton from central London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
What does taco bar hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
How does taco bar hire work?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Runcton.
Taco bar hire or something else?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Runcton is about 2 miles south-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. For taco bar hire in Runcton, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Runcton is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover.
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like The Parish Church of St Stephen, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission.
