Taco bar hire near Norton
Taco bar hire for your event in Norton
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. We serve warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits wedding breakfasts and wedding evening food.
Somewhere as small as Norton, 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, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
