How our Mexican catering works in Coulsdon
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. At summer garden parties and leaving parties, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and burritos.
Around Coulsdon, parking and loading are the main things to plan for a truck or trailer. Narrow streets, permit bays and yellow lines all affect where we can stop, so let us know about off-street space, or whether the council will need to suspend a parking bay. All of Greater London, Coulsdon included, is inside the ULEZ. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Where the truck can go in Coulsdon
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
In Coulsdon, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

FAQs for Coulsdon
We are having a ceremony at St Andrew's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Where would you park in Coulsdon?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we will confirm what we need. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
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 photo of the space and the way in.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
