Taco bar hire for Aldershot events
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Put allergies in writing for us
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers, quoted for your event.
How our taco bar hire works in Aldershot
Fillings are agreed with you, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. We serve burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole, which works well for barn and marquee parties and company parties.
In Aldershot, a taco bar can be set up inside a hall or club, with the venue’s agreement. The station needs space, a route in from the parking area and room to queue. 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.
