How our taco bar hire works in Rye Harbour
You choose the fillings with us, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. We serve pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and fresh salsas, and it suits working lunches and family get-togethers.
For a rural spot like Rye Harbour, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests.
Tell us if you need plates and cutlery and we’ll confirm what’s possible in your quote.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Rye Harbour
Do you cater at coastal events near Rye Harbour?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Church of the Holy Spirit?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
What does a taco bar cost?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we’ll quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue, and guests build their own plates.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
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 explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Perfect for your event in Rye Harbour

Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Around midsummer it stays light in Rye Harbour until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Taco bar hire in Rye Harbour: local tips
Rye Harbour is about 10 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Rye Harbour and nearby villages. We cater in all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex. You can also see our page for Maidstone, about 25 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as The Church of the Holy Spirit, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Before you plan a taco bar in Rye Harbour LNR, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement. With the sea within about 2 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze do not mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
