Blackfen: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Blackfen?
Guests can use Falconwood station, about 0.8 miles north-west of Blackfen.
Our venue in Blackfen has no vehicle access: can we still have a taco bar?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer does not have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. Service is timed around speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
How does a taco bar work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and guests build their own tacos. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
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, with allergen information for every dish.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
