Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
About our taco bar hire in Harbledown
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese. It works well for marquee parties and leaving and retirement parties, serving guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas.
Near Harbledown, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
- Details of power and water near the bar
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
