Taco bar hire for Matfield events

- Room for guests to queue along the table
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
What we offer
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
Taco bar hire for your event in Matfield
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. At wedding meals and wedding evening food, we’ll put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Matfield, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered.
