Taco bar hire in Mickleham, from our food truck or trailer
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. It works well for garden parties and leaving and retirement parties, serving pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole.
In a hamlet or village like Mickleham, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Send us allergy details in writing
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.

What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Around midsummer it stays light in Mickleham until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Ask the venue about power and water

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
