Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Make sure one filling is vegan
If the schedule slips, tell us and we’ll hold everything hot until you’re ready.
Our truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar.
Taco bar hire in Southford, served fresh
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas, and it suits team lunches and barn parties.
In a hamlet or village like Southford, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Planning help
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it 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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
