Common questions in Maltman's Hill
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Maltman's Hill?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Do you come out to small places like Maltman's Hill?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How does a taco bar work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the bar to suit.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so your hosts don’t need to. We pack it away afterwards.
About our taco bar hire in Maltman's Hill
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. Popular choices include guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings, which works well for barn and marquee parties and wedding evening food.
For a rural spot like Maltman's Hill, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day.
