How our taco bar hire works in Five Ash Down
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Popular choices include pickled onions and toppings, fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for marquee parties and office lunches.
For a rural spot like Five Ash Down, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.

How it compares
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, with power and water confirmed when you book. There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
