Taco bar hire in Furnace Wood, served fresh
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. It suits leaving and retirement parties and wedding evening food, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, burrito bowls and guacamole.
In a small place like Furnace Wood, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

What’s on the menu
Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Salsas
Salsa lets everyone pick their own heat.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
