How our taco bar hire works in Abinger
You choose the fillings with us, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. For wedding day food and team socials, we can serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas and more.
Somewhere as small as Abinger, 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. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
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 warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A December taco bar in Abinger will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
