Taco bar hire in Cooling Street
About our taco bar hire in Cooling Street
Our taco bar travels to events across Cooling Street and the surrounding area: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there is room for the table. It works well for wedding meals and retirement parties, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, guacamole and burrito bowls.
Somewhere as small as Cooling Street, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
How it compares
Buffet trays can go cold and tired. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. 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.
Why book with us
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Service planned around your numbers
- Menus chosen with you

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Cooling Street questions
Will you travel to a small place like Cooling Street?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Is Cooling Street close to London?
About 26 miles from central London.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That 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 will advise.
