Our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the taco bar to match. It works well for company parties and leaving and retirement parties, serving guacamole, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings.
For a place the size of Mortimer, a garden or a hall nearby can suit a taco bar. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Let us know about the drive and parking. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Mortimer
Could you serve our guests after a service at Mortimer Methodist Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Which station should guests use for Mortimer?
Guests can use Mortimer station, about 1.4 miles east of Mortimer.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Details of power and water near the bar
- Space for a serving table on level ground
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
