For wedding meals and team socials, we can serve pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole for your guests.

Taco bar hire in Whitehawk: local tips
Whitehawk is about 1 mile south-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. From the centre of Whitehawk to the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Whitehawk is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove where we can bring taco bar hire.
Parks such as Whitehawk Hill typically need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. If people are travelling in by rail, Brighton station is about 1.6 miles away. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 7 miles of Whitehawk, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go. Coastal events near Whitehawk, within about 2 miles of the sea, bring wind into the planning. Tell us where the taco bar would go and where we can park to unload.
We cover events in every part of BN2 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Peel Road, Manor Road and Craven Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Nearby, we also cater events in Kemptown (1 mile south-west), Hanover (1 mile west), Carlton Hill (1 mile west), Bevendean (1 mile north) and Brighton (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Brighton and Hove (4 miles west), Hove (3 miles west), Aldrington (4 miles west), Withdean (3 miles north-west), Hangleton (5 miles north-west) and Patcham (3 miles north-west).
Nearby you’ll also find Brighton Motor Museum (0.7 miles south-west) and Royal Sussex County Hospital (0.6 miles south-west). The countryside around Whitehawk includes Newmarket Hill and Whitehawk Hill.
- Nearby schools include St Mary's Hall (0.5 miles south-west) and Longhill High School (1.7 miles east)
- Local pubs include The Whitehawk Inn (under half a mile south)
Perfect for your event in Whitehawk
A full taco bar looks inviting: bright salsas, fresh guacamole and bowls of toppings in a row.
These are some of the occasions we serve:
- Engagement parties
- Wedding meals
- Evening receptions
- Team lunches
When the service is at a church such as St Cuthman's, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.

About the menu
Toppings
Pickled onions, coriander, lime, lettuce and cheese.
Salsas
Guests add as much heat as they like.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we offer
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
Whitehawk questions
What’s the nearest station to Whitehawk for guests?
Brighton station, about 1.6 miles west of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Cuthman's?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is the taco bar staffed?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
How much is a taco bar?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the bar to suit.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.

What taco bar hire costs
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Guest numbers
- The menu you choose
- How long we are needed on site
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Your menu ideas
- A picture of where we’d park
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. In Whitehawk, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
To get a price, just drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.
