Taco bar hire in Selham
About our taco bar hire in Selham
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. We serve guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas, and it’s a good fit for wedding breakfasts and marquee parties.
In a small place like Selham, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

Comparing your options
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book. There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Access, space and power checked in advance

Selham questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St James: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
