About our taco bar hire in Capel
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. Popular choices include slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls, and it suits back-garden gatherings and leaving and retirement parties.
Near Capel, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
What else we do in Capel
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
