How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
What you get with us
- Quoted for your event
- Service planned around your numbers
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
- Menus chosen with you

How our taco bar hire works in Hicks Forstal
Fillings are agreed with you, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. It suits barn parties and engagement parties, serving fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls.
Near Hicks Forstal, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
How we price taco bar hire
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of people
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The length of service
- The menu you choose
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your menu ideas

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
