Taco bar hire in Durlock, served fresh
We bring taco bars to events in and around Durlock: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there is room for the table. We serve fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar, and it’s a good fit for garden parties and family celebrations.
Somewhere as small as Durlock, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Set out seating near the bar
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
What’s on the menu
Toppings
Lime, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, agreed with you.
Vegan fillings
Black bean and sweet potato, or spiced mushrooms, cooked separately.
How it compares
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- What power and water the site has
- Your menu ideas
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.
The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Evenings in Durlock stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. After dusk, lights over the station help guests build their tacos.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day
