About our taco bar hire in Alderholt
The toppings are where guests get creative: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, pickled onions and toppings and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it suits back-garden gatherings and marquee parties.
For a place the size of Alderholt, a garden or a hall nearby can suit a taco bar. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Let us know about the drive and parking. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
