What affects the price in Coldharbour
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Parking and the route in
- Food, drinks or both
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Guest numbers
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What power and water the site has
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Mexican street food in Coldharbour, served fresh
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan stock and service. It works well for feeding crew and volunteers and village fêtes and summer fairs, serving vegan tacos, burrito bowls and burritos.
For a village fête or field event near Coldharbour, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Comparing your options
Not every trader covers vegans and coeliacs. We can serve vegan fillings and corn tortillas. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
