Taco bar hire in Cold Ash: local tips
Cold Ash is about 2 miles north of Thatcham, in West Berkshire. Give us the address of your event in Cold Ash, and we will plan the journey and set-up. Cold Ash is one of 155 places in West Berkshire we cover. You can also see our page for Reading, about 13 miles away.
After a christening or wedding at a church such as St. Mark's Church, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Thatcham station is about 2.3 miles away. With the North Wessex Downs National Landscape about 7 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Cold Ash. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.

Local streets include Harewood Drive, Johnson's Lane and Walters Close; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Taco bar hire in Cold Ash, from our truck or trailer
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. At christenings and family parties and team lunches, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot for your guests.
In a small place like Cold Ash, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:

Common questions in Cold Ash
Is Cold Ash close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you cater in Cold Ash?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Cold Ash and across West Berkshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the bar to suit.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Comparing your options
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
- A menu built around your guests
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- We cover Cold Ash and the whole of West Berkshire
