Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests about fillings and allergens.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
How our taco bar hire works in Arreton
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. For office lunches and evening wedding receptions, we’ll put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings.
For a rural spot like Arreton, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Questions from Arreton
Which station is closest to Arreton?
Sandown station, about 3.4 miles east of the centre.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you come to Arreton?
Yes, we do. Arreton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
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. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
