Questions to ask before booking

Taco bar hire in Southwater, from our truck or trailer

The bar can stand beside our 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. For evening receptions and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.

A place like Southwater may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
  • Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP

After the last plate, we take the bar down.

Tell us if you need plates and cutlery and we will confirm what’s possible in your quote.

Planners, venues and businesses

For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Can I do a taco night myself?

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Step by step

Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Daylight in Southwater runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.

  1. Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
  2. Together we choose what goes on the bar.
  3. The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
  4. Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
  5. When everyone has eaten, we pack up.

Getting ready for the day

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
  • Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

What taco bar hire costs

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • The length of service
  • What the venue already provides
  • Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food

A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
