Questions from Fordwich
Which station should guests use for Fordwich?
Fordwich has its own station: Sturry station.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Fordwich?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. Our staff look after the bar throughout.

Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
