Taco bar hire for your event in Shotover Hill
The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, as long as the venue agrees. At back-garden gatherings and wedding day food, we can serve fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings for your guests.
Around Shotover Hill, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. If the truck can’t reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

A closer look at the menu
Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Salsas
Fresh salsas, from a mild tomato salsa to something hotter, made for your event.
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Around midsummer it stays light in Shotover Hill until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, 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.

A build-your-own taco bar in Shotover Hill
