About TRAIL BREAK taps + tacos

TRAIL BREAK taps + tacos

Owner

TRAIL BREAK launched 8+ years ago and we were lucky to quickly find our schedule FULL during those first few years (and every season since) due to our casual yet professional approach to this business! We are a crew that clearly has fun at events (we'd have to given that we roll up with a giant, bright, plaid-wrapped trailer). We are an LGBTQ-friendly company that focuses on providing the highest VALUE for ALL of our clients.

We find ourselves sitting almost exclusively within a niche segment among caterers in our region. We provide the best of both worlds! We bring YEARS of experience to the planning and execution of your event. We offer casual yet exciting food ( who wants a charcuterie station when you could have chicken quesadillas and a chips & salsa bar!). We also deliver a level of service unmatched by other food trucks (a cohesive brand, professional setup and engaging service). We aren't the cheapest, nor are we the fanciest, but we are definitely THE option that your guests will rave about long after your event is over!

    50th anniversary party

    We can’t thank you enough for making our party spectacular. The food was incredible and everyone loved it. There was very little left at the end of the night. Your staff was so nice and so accommodating.

    Amazing 70th birthday bash

    Trail Break catered my husband’s 70th birthday party with their Taco Truck. Everything about the experience exceeded expectations. The food was amazing. The staff were incredibly helpful and great problem solvers. Everybody loved the lemonades. I can’t recommend them more highly.

    10/10 for Trail Break!

    Trail Break was amazing! All of their service, communication, and food itself was amazing. They handled the cocktail hour, meal service, and bar for us, and we received only positive feedback (shoutout to the jalapeño cornbread). Would highly recommend!

    best food ever!

    We booked trail break for our wedding and they exceeded our expectations! We had to change the date of our wedding and Topher was very accommodating and understanding. Our biggest concern was having a food truck for 150 guest wedding and getting hungry guests their dinner in a timely manner. Topher and his staff had no problem serving guests and everyone had their dinner within an hour. The tacos were out of this world (our guests have been raving nonstop since the wedding). The tuna taco was a fan favorite. The passed apps were well received and satisfying (highly recommend the duck wings and quesadilla). We also had trail breaks cocktail bases as our signature drinks which were a total hit. The night ended with delicious churros which left guests satisfied. Topher was very helpful in the planning phase including the amount of food needed to keep guests happy. He was easily reachable and very good with clarifying any and all last minute questions. Again, if you’re thinking of booking trail break, don’t second guess… DO IT

    Wedding Catering

    Trail break catered our wedding and it was such a hit! The food is amazing and guests were raving. Our main contact throughout the process was Sabrina and she was so easy to work with. 100% would recommend for your wedding.

Yes, generally our minimums are between $2250 and $6500. They depend HEAVILY on your event date and also location (proximity from our home-base). These minimums include food AND beverage (for those that decide to have us handle bar service as well!). It is worth noting that our F&B minimums are exclusive of additional charges like travel, labor, gratuity, etc. Please reach out with any additional questions!
We definitely offer customized tastings at our restaurant in Quechee, VT! If you have not signed a contract yet, there is generally a small fee (think of it as a cheap, but DELICIOUS, meal out!). If you have already paid your deposit and signed with us, we are happy to have both of you plus a friend or family - or TWO! - come by to really dive into the menu!
This is ENTIRELY up to YOU! We have worked with clients who book and then go 'radio silent' for months. We also have clients who book and then pretty regularly have questions as they get further in to the planning process. We are happy to chat as OFTEN or as infrequently as you'd like between the day you sign your contract and about two weeks prior to your event. Around the two week mark, we will want to have an in depth final planning call to hammer out all of the important details if we haven't already done so prior to that date.
With us, there is NO NEED for any rentals as it relates to our food and beverage offerings. We bring ALL necessary serviceware (plates, roll ups, app plates, taco boats, forks, cups, etc.). We use high-end compostable materials (pictures available on request) which almost ALL of our clients (86 in 2024 alone) decide to go with. You ARE welcome to rent your own china but we do not necessarily staff a crew to bus/scrape/rack rentals so you will want to make arrangements ahead of the event!
This WILDLY depends on your date. Generally, if you are excited about our services and want to book us, do it ASAP (we book most of our parties between around 9-13 months out). That said, last minute cancellations or random dates where we do not find the right party for our parameters means there is always a chance we might be available - ESPECIALLY since we have TWO taco trailers for each date!
We'll go anywhere in VT and mostly anywhere in NH. We do have travel fees associated with distance/time from our home-base. Travel fees generally run between $750 and $1500. If we end up booking an event more than 2 hours away, there may be an overnight charge for our crew as well. We love catering but they are LONG days (averaging 13 to 15 hours) and we want to ensure our staff arrives home safely after putting in such hard work.
We can certainly cater to a WIDE variety of dietary preferences and restrictions! ONE of the many beauties of a food truck is that almost everything is made to order on site. Your guests can come up and order their tacos any which way they would like and our crew is happy to run around behind to the trailer to our prep area to pull together an app plate or some sides that fit their specific needs as well! Most of our menu is inherently gluten free and our kitchen is nut free!
We'll cut and serve cake if you'd like - however, as we tell all of our clients...while we are catering/bar pros, we are wedding cake armatures! We can't guarantee it'll look the prettiest. When in doubt...just have us serve churros with pure VT/NH maple syrup. ALWAYS a hit!
