Taco bar hire for your event in Wivelsfield
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. On the menu are warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for birthday celebrations and back-garden gatherings.
Somewhere as small as Wivelsfield, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Perfect for your event in Wivelsfield
Guests on special diets don’t need a separate meal.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Staff parties

After a christening or wedding at a church such as Ote Hall Chapel, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos.
Questions to ask before you book
- How each diet is kept separate
- Staff numbers and hours
- A clear list of what’s included
- The wet-weather plan
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Common questions in Wivelsfield
How far is Wivelsfield from London?
It is about 37 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
