About our taco bar hire in Rogate
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, depending on the menu you choose. At wedding breakfasts and barn parties, we will put together a menu of guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot and more.
In a small place like Rogate, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. 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. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
