Planning an event in Whitesmith?
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Winter evenings in Whitesmith close in by about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Taco bar hire in Whitesmith, served fresh
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. At family get-togethers and marquee parties, we will put together a menu of pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas.
For a rural spot like Whitesmith, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.
How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Why book with us
- Quoted for your event
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- A menu built around your guests

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Events we cater in Whitesmith
You aren’t limited to places a truck can park, such as a courtyard, a barn or a hall, with the venue’s agreement.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Evening wedding receptions
- Staff parties
- Marquee parties
- Family get-togethers
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like The Parish Church, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission.
Comparing caterers
- How late numbers can change
- VAT, if it applies
- Where to see their hygiene rating
- How bad weather is handled
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Whitesmith questions
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Whitesmith?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Which station should guests use for Whitesmith?
Berwick (Sussex) station, about 4.5 miles south of the centre.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
What does a taco bar cost?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
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 do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
