DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How our taco bar hire works in Mapledurham
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. For christenings and family parties and birthday parties, we can serve warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and burrito bowls.
Somewhere as small as Mapledurham, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. 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. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
