How our taco bar hire works in Marlpit Hill
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 suits staff parties and family get-togethers, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and guacamole.
In a small place like Marlpit Hill, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
