DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we offer
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up, then load our vehicle.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Why choose taco bar hire in Southwick?
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Popular choices
Hot fillings
You might choose two or three fillings. We agree them with you.
Guacamole
No taco bar is complete without guacamole, so we keep it topped up.
Southwick: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Southwick?
The closest is Portchester station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
How far is Southwick from London?
It’s about 62 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We do not publish set prices, as each booking is different. Share your plans and you will get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
