Taco bar hire for Red Hill events
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
After the last plate, we take the bar down and leave the spot tidy.
Our truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar, quoted with the rest.
How our taco bar hire works in Red Hill
Our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the taco bar around them. It works well for wedding evening food and summer garden parties, serving fresh salsas, warm corn and flour tortillas and guacamole.
In a small place like Red Hill, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Planning an evening taco bar in Red Hill? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. After dusk, lights over the station help guests build their tacos.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.

About the menu
Salsas
Salsa lets everyone pick their own heat.
Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm so there is always one ready. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
Should I do it myself?
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
