How our taco bar hire works in Coldharbour
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. Popular choices include guacamole, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings, and it suits family celebrations and back-garden gatherings.
Near Coldharbour, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Why choose taco bar hire in Coldharbour?
It looks generous: salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out together make an easy centrepiece.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We can cater:
- Company parties
- Christenings and family parties
- Summer garden parties
- Wedding evening food
Thinking of a taco bar in Wotton and Abinger Commons? Catering in a public park generally needs the landowner’s permission, so check first.

How we price taco bar hire
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Serving staff
- Whether you need disposables
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Parking and the route in
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. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.
Common questions in Coldharbour
Can you cater a reception after a service at Christ Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
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.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
What does a taco bar cost?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

- Pickled onions and toppings

How the day works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A December taco bar in Coldharbour will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
