Taco bar hire in Southwick, served fresh
Our taco bar travels to events across Southwick and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. It works well for back-garden gatherings and christenings and family parties, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and burrito bowls.
Near Southwick, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

Southwick questions
Is Southwick close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Southwick for guests?
Southwick station, in Southwick itself.
What space does a taco bar need?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Pickled onions and toppings

How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Daylight in Southwick 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 will talk about lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.

- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
