Taco bar hire in Swalecliffe, from our food truck or trailer
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It suits family celebrations and working lunches, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls.
In and around Swalecliffe, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. In Swalecliffe, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
