Fairs, fêtes and events in Ockham
Ockham is about 5 miles east of Woking, in Surrey. Anywhere in GU23, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there’s access. We cover 395 places in Surrey, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Ripley Court School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as All Saints' Church could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac. Organisers near the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Ockham, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets.
For Mexican street food in GU23, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Alms Heath, Ockham Lane and School Lane. Neighbouring places where we cater events include West Horsley (2 miles south), Ripley (2 miles west), East Horsley (2 miles south-east), Effingham (3 miles south-east) and East Clandon (3 miles south). We also cater in nearby towns such as Guildford (6 miles south-west), Woking (5 miles west), Camberley (12 miles west), Epsom (9 miles east), Horley (15 miles south-east) and Redhill (13 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Send and Ripley History Society Museum (1.5 miles west) and Woking Community Hospital (4.4 miles west). Not far away are Boldermere Lake and Papercourt Marshes.
- Pubs nearby include The Black Swan pub (0.9 miles north-east)

Near Ockham, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Ockham questions
Do you come out to small places like Ockham?
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 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.
What do you need at the pitch?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs. We confirm power and water with each booking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
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.
Do you come to Ockham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Ockham is within our area and the rest of Surrey. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. By late September, it’s dark in Ockham at around 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day

We cater all kinds of occasions in Ockham and nearby. Some of the most common are:
- Sports club events
- Community days
- Fundraisers and fêtes
- County and country shows

- VAT, if it applies
- The wet-weather plan
- Space, access, power and water needs
- How late numbers can change
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many guests we’re serving
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground

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 send a quick message through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
