DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.

FAQs for Cooling
We’re having a ceremony at St James' Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
How far is Cooling from London?
About 27 miles from central London, and we cover it.
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.
What drinks do you serve?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Will someone run the bar?
Yes, our bar staff serve your guests. Responsible serving comes first.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
Every bar has alcohol-free choices, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.
How it compares
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A bar gives every guest a drink in hand. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. By late September, sunset in Cooling comes at roughly 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- We serve drinks responsibly on the day.
- We clear the bar at the end.
Getting ready for the day
