How our taco bar hire works in Hale
Our truck and trailer service usually 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. For birthday celebrations and wedding meals, we can serve burrito bowls, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot and more.
Near Hale, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Hale? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Hale, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
