Albury: venues, access and licensing
Albury is about 4 miles south-east of Guildford, in Surrey. Tell us where your event in Albury will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. Albury is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover.
If you are looking at a historic venue around Albury, check its rules on outside bars and vehicles early. Once the ceremony at a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue. Albury is within about 2 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, a lovely setting for drinks outdoors. Ask your venue about vehicle access for the truck or trailer.
We cover events in every part of GU5. Streets in the area include Weston Fields, Church Lane and Albury Street, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Planning the serving area

- Vehicle access near the bar
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar
- Details of power and water on site
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Albury questions
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Which station should guests use for Albury?
Chilworth station, about 1.3 miles west of the centre.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you cover Albury?
Yes, we do. Albury is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
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. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. At midsummer, it is light in Albury until about 9:20pm, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it is dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We check the licensing with you.
- We agree a drinks menu.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We pack down when the bar closes.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
