If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Taco bar hire for your event in Stanmer
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily. It works well for engagement parties and office lunches, with fresh salsas, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In a small place like Stanmer, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Working with your venue
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
How the day works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. A December taco bar in Stanmer will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Planning help
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Comparing your options
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
