Taco bar hire for your event in Colgate
You choose the fillings with us, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. It suits marquee parties and back-garden gatherings, serving a build-your-own taco bar, warm corn and flour tortillas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a small place like Colgate, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. You’ll know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Colgate questions
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Colgate?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
What’s the nearest station to Colgate for guests?
The closest is Faygate station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Who looks after the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you do not need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.

Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
How does taco bar hire work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
Should I do it myself?

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
