Taco bar hire for your event in The Frenches
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. It suits team socials and birthday parties, serving guacamole, warm corn and flour tortillas and burrito bowls.
Near The Frenches, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
The Frenches questions

When do you arrive?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
