Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Shalfleet questions
Do you cater in villages like Shalfleet?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Shalfleet?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We agree the timings with your venue, and guests build their own plates.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.

The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue.

- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
