Taco bar hire for Telscombe events
Taco bar hire in Telscombe, from our truck or trailer
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. Popular choices include slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings, and it suits team socials and birthday celebrations.
Around Telscombe, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. If the truck can’t reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

FAQs for Telscombe
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Lawrence?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What should the venue provide?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
