Taco bar hire for your event in Up Nately
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. Popular choices include warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas, and it suits garden parties and retirement parties.
For a rural spot like Up Nately, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
FAQs for Up Nately
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St. Stephen?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
What’s the nearest station to Up Nately for guests?
Guests can use Hook station, about 1.7 miles north-east of Up Nately.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each taco bar, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
