We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. For an evening event in Coldharbour, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.

Running an event in Coldharbour
Coldharbour is about 4 miles north-west of Orpington, in Greater London. Across the SE9 area, we can serve your guests. Coldharbour is one of 764 places in Greater London where we can bring Mexican street food. Our nearest city page is London, about 8 miles away.
Organisers looking at Elmstead Wood as a site should start with the landowner, who sets the rules for traders and vehicles. If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Mottingham Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.
Anywhere in SE9 and BR7, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Green Lane, Horley Road and Dorset Road or the roads around them. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Mottingham (1 mile west), Chinbrook (1 mile west), New Eltham (1 mile north-east), Eltham (1 mile north) and Middle Park (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in London (8 miles north-west), City of Westminster (11 miles north-west), Marylebone (10 miles north-west), Kensington (12 miles north-west), St Pancras (10 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (9 miles north-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Municipal Borough of Bromley (2.6 miles south-west) and Eltham Community Hospital (1.3 miles north). Not far away are The Tarn and Summer Hill.
- Nearby schools include St Thomas More Catholic Comprehensive School (1.2 miles north)
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
Orders are served throughout the event.
Bowls as a gluten-free choice.
Common questions in Coldharbour
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Coldharbour?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Which station is closest to Coldharbour?
The closest is Mottingham station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. 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 quickly can you serve?
We plan stock and service around your expected numbers.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: 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.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
