How we price taco bar hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many guests we are serving
- Timings and hours
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- What you’d like on the menu
- What power and water the site has
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you’re ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
Taco bar hire in St John's, served fresh
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. For marquee parties and family get-togethers, we will put together a menu of guacamole, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Near St John's, 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A December taco bar in St John's will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
How to prepare
