Taco bar hire for your event in Great Shoddesden
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, as long as the venue agrees. At team lunches and marquee parties, we will put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot for your guests.
In a small place like Great Shoddesden, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Great Shoddesden questions
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
How far is Great Shoddesden from central London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. Service is timed around speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
