Taco bar hire for your event in Lower Slackstead
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. It works well for evening receptions and back-garden gatherings, serving burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a small place like Lower Slackstead, 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, though we still need to unload within a short walk. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers, quoted for your event.

Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
