Taco bar hire for Wilmington events
How our taco bar hire works in Wilmington
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. Popular choices include guacamole, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for working lunches and milestone birthdays.
For a rural spot like Wilmington, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.

Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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’ll do the serving.
