Taco bar hire for Puckpool events
How our taco bar hire works in Puckpool
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. It suits back-garden gatherings and family celebrations, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and guacamole.
For a rural spot like Puckpool, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Toppings
Lime, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema.

Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Puckpool
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Puckpool?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.

How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.

We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
