A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. For garden parties and christenings and family parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings and more.

Nearby historic houses include Haseley Manor (1.4 miles north-west) and Rylstone Manor (2.2 miles south-east).

Guests leaving a church like All Saints' Church could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. Coastal events near Winford, within about 3 miles of the sea, bring wind into the planning. Tell us where the taco bar would go and where we can park to unload.

FAQs for Winford
Do you cater at coastal events near Winford?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Winford?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
What affects the price in Winford
These are the factors that matter most:
- What the venue already provides
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How long we’re needed on site
- Parking and the route in
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
