Book taco bar hire in Badger Farm
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
How our taco bar hire works in Badger Farm
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. For team socials and leaving and retirement parties, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole.
A place like Badger Farm may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Common questions in Badger Farm
Could you serve in St. Cross Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Saint Luke?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How does taco bar hire work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and guests build their own tacos. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
