Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:

- Choose at least one vegan filling

- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Why choose taco bar hire in Selmeston?

We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Family get-togethers
- Barn parties
- Office lunches
- Birthday parties
When the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
Before booking anyone
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- When final numbers are due
- Whether VAT is included
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside

What we offer
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Two to four fillings
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
Can I do a taco night myself?
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.
The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. In Selmeston, the sun sets at about 9:15pm 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.
- Begin with the 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.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Your questions about taco bar hire in Selmeston
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Do you cater 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.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Who looks after the taco bar?

We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
