Taco bar hire for Tapnage events
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Tapnage? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Taco bar hire in Tapnage, served fresh
You choose the fillings with us, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. It suits barn parties and christenings and family parties, serving fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Near Tapnage, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
How it compares
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Book food, drinks or both
- Service planned around your numbers
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Everything served fresh from the hatch

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Winter evenings in Tapnage close in by about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Other catering in Tapnage
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
