Taco bar hire for your event in St Helen's
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too. At evening wedding receptions and wedding meals, we’ll put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings.
Near St Helen's, 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 will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

St Helen's questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Can you serve near the sea around St Helen's?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you cater in St Helen's?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in St Helen's and across East Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.

- Serving staff

- The length of service
- How many guests we are serving
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
