Working with your venue

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Choose at least one vegan filling
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Worthy Down
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Worthy Down?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Which station is closest to Worthy Down?
The closest is Winchester station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.

How it works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. In Worthy Down, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
