Taco bar hire in Newhaven, from our food truck or trailer
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving, and nobody waits long. Popular choices include burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and guacamole, which works well for birthday celebrations and garden parties.
In a town like Newhaven, a taco bar can go in a hall, a marquee or a garden. It can stand next to the truck, or on its own where the truck cannot reach. Either way, we need to unload close by. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
