Common questions in Wilmington
How far is Wilmington from London?
It is about 48 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Taco bar hire in Wilmington, served fresh
Our taco bar travels to events across Wilmington and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. For engagement parties and garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Wilmington, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Wilmington: venues, access and set-up
Wilmington is about 4 miles south-west of Hailsham, in East Sussex. From the centre of Wilmington to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover 289 places across East Sussex. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 14 miles away.
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like St Mary and St Peter's Church, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. Guests arriving without a car will want to know that the nearest station is Berwick (Sussex) station, about 1.8 miles north-west. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 2 miles of Wilmington, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our food truck or trailer could go. Wilmington is within about 6 miles of the sea, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites normally need permission.
Here we cover the BN26 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Streets in the area include The Street and Ades Field, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. We also serve at events in Milton Street (1 mile south-west), Winton (2 miles west), Arlington (2 miles north), Berwick (2 miles north-west) and Lullington (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (5 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (12 miles east), Seaford (5 miles south-west), Lewes (9 miles north-west), Hailsham (4 miles north-east) and Uckfield (11 miles north).
A little further out are Agricultural Museum (under half a mile south) and Burlough Castle (1 mile west). Green spaces nearby include Combe Hill.
- Local pubs include The Sussex Ox pub (0.9 miles south-west)
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point, quoted for your event.
How the day works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. Winter evenings in Wilmington close in by about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
Getting a price

Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
