How our taco bar hire works in West Marden
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, depending on the menu you choose. On the menu are fresh salsas, burrito bowls and guacamole, and it is a good fit for barn and marquee parties and evening wedding receptions.
Somewhere as small as West Marden, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

A build-your-own taco bar in West Marden
West Marden is about 5 miles east of Horndean, in West Sussex. For taco bar hire in West Marden, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We serve in all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Chichester, about 8 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Around West Marden, historic houses include Uppark (2.6 miles north). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking. The South Downs National Park is within about 4 miles of West Marden, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
Anywhere in PO18, we can bring taco bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We also serve at events in Forestside (1 mile south-west), Chalton (3 miles north-west), Blendworth (4 miles west), Buriton (5 miles north-west) and Nursted (5 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Bognor Regis (13 miles south-east), Chichester (8 miles south-east), Selsey (14 miles south), Emsworth (5 miles south), Portfield (8 miles south-east) and Yapton (14 miles south-east).

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Around midsummer it stays light in West Marden until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
