About our taco bar hire in Southbourne
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. It suits office lunches and garden parties, with fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole.
Near Southbourne, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Common questions in Southbourne
Could you come to a seaside event near Southbourne?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Is it possible to have you in Eames Farm?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you come to Southbourne?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Southbourne and the rest of West Sussex. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How it compares
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
