How our taco bar hire works in Woodcote
The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. It works well for staff parties and summer garden parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings.
In and around Woodcote, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. If the truck cannot reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
