Other catering in Cookley Green
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
What’s on the menu
Salsas
A row of salsas, mild to hot.
Hot fillings
You might choose two or three fillings. You choose them with us.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Evenings in Cookley Green stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Common questions in Cookley Green
Is Cookley Green close to London?
About 40 miles from central London.
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue, and guests build their own plates.
What does a taco bar cost?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Where the truck can go in Cookley Green
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
Occasions we cater for in Cookley Green
It looks generous: bright salsas, fresh guacamole and bowls of toppings in a row make an easy centrepiece.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Staff parties
- Barn and marquee parties
- Family celebrations
- Milestone birthdays
Guests leaving a church like Church of St Botolph could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready.
