Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
Common questions in Budlett's Common
Could you serve in West Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
We are having a ceremony at Five Ash Down Independent Chapel: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What do you need at the venue?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. We confirm power and water when you book.
What does a taco bar cost?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. For a price, use our quote form.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. In Budlett's Common, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.

- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- We check power, water and access with your venue.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.

- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
- A clear list of what’s included

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
