Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Tell us if you need plates and cutlery and we will set out the options in your quote.
Taco bar hire for your event in Water End
You choose the fillings with us, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. It suits evening receptions and milestone birthdays, with warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Somewhere as small as Water End, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Water End
Do you cater in villages like Water End?
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.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Water End?
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.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How does a taco bar work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using 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?
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Popular choices
Vegan fillings
Spiced mushroom, or black bean and sweet potato, cooked separately.
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
