Taco bar hire near Medstead
Taco bar hire in Medstead, from our food truck or trailer
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. Popular choices include fresh salsas, pickled onions and toppings and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it’s a good fit for christenings and family parties and wedding breakfasts.
Around Medstead, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
