What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. In St John Street area, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.

- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- 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.

Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:

- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings

Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
How we price taco bar hire
These are the factors that matter most:
- What the venue already provides
- Distance and access to the venue
- What’s on the menu
- How many guests we’re serving
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your menu ideas
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- What power and water the site has
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
