Taco bar hire or something else?

Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Taco bar hire for your event in Cootham

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. At wedding evening food and summer garden parties, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and burrito bowls and more.

In a hamlet or village like Cootham, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Questions to ask before you book

Can I do a taco night myself?

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Where the truck can go in Cootham

We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • Room for guests to queue along the table
  • Power and water, which we confirm when you book
  • Space for a serving table on level ground

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

On the menu in Cootham

  • Pickled onions and toppings
  • Tortilla chips
  • Two to four fillings
  • Vegan fillings
  • Salsas and guacamole
  • Corn and flour tortillas

Diets, allergies and planning

With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:

  • Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
  • Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
  • Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
  • Choose at least one vegan filling

Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.

Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we will confirm what’s possible in your quote.

FAQs for Cootham

Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?

We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.

Will you travel to a small place like Cootham?

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.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.

How does a taco bar work?

We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and guests build their own tacos. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.

Do you have gluten-free options?

We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

Is the food made fresh?

We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

What’s on the menu?

Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

Do you cover Cootham?

We do. Cootham is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Step by step

From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Cootham until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.

  1. Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
  2. We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
  3. We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
  4. On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
  5. After the last tacos, we clear the station away.

How to prepare
