Common questions in Old Coulsdon
What about parking in Old Coulsdon?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Can you set up a taco bar where your truck can’t park in Old Coulsdon?
Generally, if the venue agrees to a staffed station. We still need somewhere close by to unload, and in London that may mean a loading bay or a parking suspension.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What space does a taco bar need?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we’ll confirm what’s needed. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How our taco bar hire works in Old Coulsdon

For christenings and family parties and leaving and retirement parties, we can serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas.
In Old Coulsdon, all a taco bar needs is room for the station and space for guests to queue.

Comparing your options
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the bar, guests build their own. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

What we need at the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Room for guests to queue along the table
In Old Coulsdon, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
