Taco bar hire for Shipton Green events

The process

A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Daylight in Shipton Green runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.

  1. Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
  2. We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
  3. Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
  4. We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
  5. After the last tacos, we clear the station away.

Preparing for the day

  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

About our taco bar hire in Shipton Green

We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. It suits company parties and wedding day food, with warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and a build-your-own taco bar.

For a rural spot like Shipton Green, 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’ll confirm power and water with you. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Planning a taco bar in Shipton Green

Shipton Green is about 5 miles south-west of Chichester, in West Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of Shipton Green or on the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in 371 places across West Sussex.

When the service is at a church such as St Nicholas' Church, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. With the sea within about 6 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.

Anywhere in PO20, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Shipton Green Lane and Itchenor Road or the roads around them. We also serve at events in Somerley (1 mile south-east), Birdham (1 mile east), Almodington (2 miles south-east), Earnley (2 miles south) and East Wittering (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (7 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-east), Selsey (5 miles south-east), Littlehampton (14 miles east), Emsworth (5 miles north-west) and Rustington (15 miles east).

A little further out are Chichester Castle (4.9 miles north-east) and St Richard's Hospital (5.2 miles north-east). Open spaces near Shipton Green include Pilsey Island.

Prices and what affects them

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Serving staff
  • How long we are needed on site
  • The menu you choose
  • Guest numbers

What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Getting an accurate quote

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • A picture of where we’d park
  • What you’d like on the menu
  • The date and rough timings
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

The menu, item by item

Salsas

Fresh salsas, from a mild tomato salsa to something hotter.

Toppings

Pickled onions, coriander, lime, lettuce and cheese.

Catering for every guest

Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:

  • Tell us when guests should eat
  • Choose at least one vegan filling
  • Count children separately
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

If the schedule slips, tell us and we’ll hold everything hot until you’re ready.

Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.

For planners, venues and organisers

Organising a club, school or community event in Shipton Green? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.

If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Can I do a taco night myself?

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.

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.

FAQs for Shipton Green

Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Shipton Green?

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 you serve near the sea around Shipton Green?

We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.

How does a taco bar work?

Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. Our staff look after the bar throughout.

Is there a minimum number of guests?

Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.

Can you plan for allergies?

Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.

How long do you serve for?

It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.

What do you need at the venue?

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 far ahead should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.

Planning the serving area

Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:

  • Details of power and water near the bar
  • Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
  • A clear area in front of the station

Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
