Taco bar hire in Ticehurst, from our food truck or trailer
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. It works well for engagement and anniversary parties and evening wedding receptions, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Somewhere as small as Ticehurst, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Ticehurst: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Ticehurst for guests?
Stonegate station, about 2.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Ticehurst?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Ticehurst?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How does taco bar hire work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
For event organisers in Ticehurst
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Daylight in Ticehurst runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Ask the venue about power and water

Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
