Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What you get with us
- Menus chosen with you

About our taco bar hire in Furzey Lodge
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily. For working lunches and back-garden gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole for your guests.
Near Furzey Lodge, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Count children separately
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.
For event organisers in Furzey Lodge
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Questions from Furzey Lodge
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Do you cater in villages like Furzey Lodge?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. Service is timed around speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
