About our taco bar hire in Parkgate
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, as long as the venue agrees. For team lunches and marquee parties, we can serve burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and fresh salsas.
In a small place like Parkgate, 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. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Planning an evening taco bar in Parkgate?
