Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Count children separately
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Chelwood Gate
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Chelwood Gate?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
We’re having a ceremony at Chelwood Gate Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
Our service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the bar to suit.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What does taco bar hire cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
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. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
A closer look at the menu
Hot fillings
You might choose two or three fillings, with at least one vegan. You choose them with us.
Vegan fillings
Vegan guests get a proper filling of their own.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Why choose taco bar hire in Chelwood Gate?
Pizza is a safe choice, but a taco bar lets every guest design their own plate. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
