How our taco bar hire works in Burford
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too, with licensing checked with you. At christenings and family parties and back-garden gatherings, we can serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar for your guests.
In a smaller place like Burford, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Let us know about the drive and parking. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. In Burford, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
How to prepare
- Find out what power and water are available
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

DIY taco night versus 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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
