About our taco bar hire in Staines-upon-Thames
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. It suits barn and marquee parties and staff parties, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In Staines-upon-Thames, a taco bar can be set up inside a hall or club, with the venue’s agreement. We need space for the station, a way in from where we park and room for a queue. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Should I do it myself?
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
