How our taco bar hire works in High Brooms
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 leaving and retirement parties and family celebrations, serving guacamole, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls.
In and around High Brooms, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- What the venue already provides
- Food, drinks or both
- What’s on the menu
- Distance and access to the venue
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your menu ideas
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, send a quick message through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Set out seating near the bar
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
If the schedule slips, tell us and we’ll hold everything hot until you are ready.
Our truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Winter evenings in High Brooms close in by about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Share a few details about the event.
- You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.
- We check power, water and access with your venue.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- At the end, we take everything away.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
Ask for a quote
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, fill in our quote form.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
