Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Decide where the table goes before the day
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
How our taco bar hire works in Cowplain
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving, and nobody waits long. It suits staff parties and engagement and anniversary parties, serving pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls.
In and around Cowplain, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
How it compares
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
