What else we do in Ellisfield
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Where the truck can go in Ellisfield
We will be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Ellisfield
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
