Taco bar hire for Coldharbour events
How our taco bar hire works in Coldharbour
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too, with licensing checked with you. We serve burrito bowls, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas, which works well for summer garden parties and birthday celebrations.
Near Coldharbour, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Coldharbour
Do you cater in villages like Coldharbour?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Which station should guests use for Coldharbour?
Hildenborough station, about 1.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
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 confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A December taco bar in Coldharbour will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
