Taco bar hire in West Dean
Taco bar hire in West Dean, served fresh
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. On the menu are warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for anniversary parties and team lunches.
Near West Dean, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Questions from West Dean
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
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.
Is West Dean close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you come to West Dean?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and West Dean is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
What should the venue provide?
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.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How we price taco bar hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The number of people
- Food, drinks or both
- Your choice of food and drinks
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- What power and water the site has
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Put allergies in writing for us
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Winter evenings in West Dean close in by about 4:00pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.

- We clear our station when service ends.
