Taco bar hire in Shorne
Taco bar hire in Shorne, from our truck or trailer
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. On the menu are slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and burrito bowls, which works well for evening receptions and barn parties.
Near Shorne, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Shorne: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Shorne?
Higham station, about 1.7 miles north-east of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
How does a taco bar work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and guests build their own tacos. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Comparing your options

A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, and power and water are confirmed with each booking.
