Taco bar hire in Coulsdon, served fresh
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. On the menu are fresh salsas, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it’s a good fit for family get-togethers and milestone birthdays.
From an office courtyard to a hired room, a taco bar in Coulsdon needs space for a table and a queue. Let us know about the loading point and any stairs, lifts or narrow doorways, as London parking takes planning. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
- A clear area in front of the station
Coulsdon is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why us?
- Served fresh from our food truck or trailer
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- A menu agreed with you
Take a look at how we price and our guide to catering costs.
What taco bar hire costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- What’s on the menu
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Travel, parking and access
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 we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The venue or postcode
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off.

How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. Winter evenings in Coulsdon close in by about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Coulsdon questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Andrew's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you set up a taco bar where your truck can’t park in Coulsdon?
Yes, with the venue’s agreement: our staff set up the station where your guests are. We still need somewhere close by to unload, and in London that may mean a loading bay or a parking suspension.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, our bookings generally fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you come to Coulsdon?
Yes, we do. Coulsdon is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How does taco bar hire work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and guests build their own tacos. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
