Planning a taco bar in Bunce Common
Bunce Common is about 3 miles south-east of Dorking, in Surrey. Whether your event is in the middle of Bunce Common or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Bunce Common is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. You can also see our page for Crawley, about 8 miles away.
Parks such as Inholms Clay Pit usually need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Bartholomew, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Bunce Common, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
We cater events across RH2 and RH3. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Gadbrook Road, Leigh Road and Shellwood Road. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Dawesgreen (1 mile east), Strood Green (1 mile north), Leigh (1 mile east), Brockham (2 miles north) and Betchworth (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (13 miles west), Woking (15 miles north-west), Epsom (9 miles north), Horley (5 miles south-east), Redhill (5 miles north-east) and Ewell (10 miles north).
A little further out are East Surrey Hospital (4.9 miles east) and Reigate Priory Museum (3.5 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Reigate Heath and Box Hill.
- Pubs nearby include The Seven Stars Public House (0.8 miles east)

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

Questions from Bunce Common
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We agree the timings with your venue.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Bunce Common.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
