About our taco bar hire in Cooling
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. Popular choices include burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings, and it is a good fit for evening wedding receptions and leaving and retirement parties.
Near Cooling, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Questions from Cooling
How far is Cooling from London?
It’s about 27 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you come out to small places like Cooling?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.

How much is a taco bar?

What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
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.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Medway. See all areas.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

What’s on the menu
Vegan fillings
Spiced mushroom, or black bean and sweet potato.
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches so there’s always one ready. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. Around midsummer it stays light in Cooling until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.

Why choose taco bar hire in Cooling?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
