Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Count children separately
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Send us allergy details in writing
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Our food truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Elvetham Heath questions
We are having a ceremony at Church on the Heath: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Elvetham Heath close to London?
It’s about 36 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
What space does a taco bar need?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will confirm what’s needed. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What does taco bar hire cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
The menu, item by item
Guacamole
Guacamole goes quickly on a taco bar, so we keep it topped up.
Warm tortillas
Tortillas are the base of the bar. We warm them as the bar needs them.
How it compares
Buffet trays can go cold and tired. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why book with us
- A clear quote
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Served fresh from our food truck or trailer
