How our taco bar hire works in Scaynes Hill
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. For engagement parties and family get-togethers, we will put together a menu of guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a hamlet or village like Scaynes Hill, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

Questions from Scaynes Hill
How far is Scaynes Hill from central London?
It is about 35 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Scaynes Hill?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. We fit it around your speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What space does a taco bar need?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will confirm what’s needed. We also need the venue’s permission.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, West Sussex included. See all areas.
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Menu ideas
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Why choose taco bar hire in Scaynes Hill?
The bar can go where a vehicle can’t, such as a courtyard, a barn or a hall, with the venue’s agreement.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Wedding meals
- Retirement parties
- Anniversary parties
- Team lunches
Parks such as Eastern Road Nature Reserve generally need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. In Scaynes Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Give us your final numbers and diets
