About our taco bar hire in Chalkhouse Green
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. At wedding meals and barn parties, we can serve guacamole, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In a hamlet or village like Chalkhouse Green, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
