Taco bar hire for your event in Steep
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, 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. It suits back-garden gatherings and team lunches, with pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Near Steep, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Taco bar hire or something else?
Pizza is the usual crowd-pleaser, but a taco bar lets every guest design their own plate. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
