Taco bar hire in Badlesmere, from our food truck or trailer
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. At birthday celebrations and team lunches, we will put together a menu of pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a hamlet or village like Badlesmere, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
