About our taco bar hire in Caversham Heights
Our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, warm corn and flour tortillas and fresh salsas, and it suits company parties and anniversary parties.
Around Caversham Heights, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. 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’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests.
Tell us if you need plates and cutlery and we’ll set out the options in your quote.
