Taco bar hire in Frinsted
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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 be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Taco bar hire for your event in Frinsted
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. It suits working lunches and leaving and retirement parties, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas.
Somewhere as small as Frinsted, 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 arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
If the schedule slips, tell us and we’ll hold everything hot until you’re ready.
Our food truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar, quoted with the rest.
