Coates questions
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Coates?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.

About 43 miles from central London.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.

Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.

Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
