How our taco bar hire works in Coldharbour
You choose the fillings with us, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. It works well for wedding breakfasts and leaving dos, serving pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas.
In Coldharbour, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. A taco bar station can be set up away from the truck, with the venue’s agreement, and the route from our parking spot to the station needs to be clear. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Coldharbour
What about parking in Coldharbour?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Our venue in Coldharbour has no vehicle access: can we still have a taco bar?
Usually, if the venue agrees to a staffed station. We still need to park and unload nearby, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
How much is a taco bar?
We quote for each taco bar, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Step by step

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Tell us how many children are coming
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests about fillings and allergens.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Parking and the route in
- How many staff you need
- How many guests we’re serving
- Food, drinks or both
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Where the event is
- How we drive in and where we can park
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.
Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
As a London location, Coldharbour is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
