DIY taco night or a caterer?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Taco bar hire in Selborne, served fresh
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, depending on the menu you choose. It works well for barn parties and family celebrations, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.

How it works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Winter evenings in Selborne close in by about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.

- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
