Taco bar hire in Whatlington, from our food truck or trailer
Our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the taco bar to match. It suits evening wedding receptions and summer garden parties, with guacamole, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas.
Near Whatlington, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Common questions in Whatlington
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Mary Magdalene's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station is closest to Whatlington?
Battle station, about 1.9 miles south of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Do you cater in Whatlington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Whatlington is within our area and the rest of East Sussex. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices

For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
