About our taco bar hire in Appleton

Evenings in Appleton stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.

How to plan a taco bar

Questions from Appleton

Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Appleton?

Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.

Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Lawrence?

Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.

What about power on site?

That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

Do you provide drinks?

Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.

Does the taco bar need the truck on site?

The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.

Is a taco bar right for a wedding?

A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. We fit it around your speeches and photos. There’s more in our taco bar guide.

Do you come to Appleton?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Appleton. To check your date, use our quote form.
