Planning an event in Farthingloe?
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Taco bar hire in Farthingloe, served fresh
Our taco bar travels to events across Farthingloe and the surrounding area: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there’s room for the table. At engagement and anniversary parties and staff parties, we can serve guacamole, warm corn and flour tortillas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a small place like Farthingloe, 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. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space will not work. The main points are:

- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- A plan agreed before the day
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included
- A menu built around your guests

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Set out seating near the bar
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
