Taco bar hire near Dungate
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we will confirm what’s possible in your quote.
Taco bar hire for your event in Dungate
We bring taco bars to events in and around Dungate: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. For team socials and anniversary parties, we will put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Dungate, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. 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. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Daylight in Dungate runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. 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 tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
