Taco bar hire near Arborfield Cross
Taco bar hire for your event in Arborfield Cross
Our taco bar travels to events across Arborfield Cross and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and fresh salsas, which works well for anniversary parties and birthday parties.
For a rural spot like Arborfield Cross, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
