Taco bar hire in Oakridge, served fresh
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. For wedding evening food and birthday parties, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas and more.
Near Oakridge, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
What taco bar hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many staff you need
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- What you’d like on the menu
- Diets and allergies you know about
- How we drive in and where we can park
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, tell us about it on our contact page.
Taco bar hire or something else?
Next to a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
- A menu agreed with you
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Service planned around your numbers

Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Popular choices
Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.
Guacamole
No taco bar is complete without guacamole.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Organising a club, school or community event in Oakridge? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.

- Fit the bar into your running order
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
If the schedule slips, tell us and we will hold everything hot until you’re ready.

Questions from Oakridge
Can you cater a reception after a service at Ruins Of Chapel Of The Holy Trinity?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Could you serve in Eastrop Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How does a taco bar work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
