Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
How our taco bar hire works in Barcombe
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It suits back-garden gatherings and anniversary parties, with guacamole, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a hamlet or village like Barcombe, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

A closer look at the menu
Salsas
Fresh salsas, from a mild tomato salsa to something hotter.
Vegan fillings
Vegan guests get a proper filling of their own, not an afterthought.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.

What taco bar hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- What the venue already provides
- Parking and the route in
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Staff for serving and the bar
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just fill in our quote form.
How it works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Winter evenings in Barcombe close in by about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
