Taco bar hire in Highwood
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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’ll do the serving.
About our taco bar hire in Highwood
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. At family celebrations and barn parties, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and fresh salsas and more.
Near Highwood, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
