About our taco bar hire in Burpham
Our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. It suits christenings and family parties and birthday parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Around Burpham, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. If the truck can’t reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Common questions in Burpham
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of the Holy Spirit?
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. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Burpham?
Guests can use London Road (Guildford) station, about 1.4 miles south-west of Burpham.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How we price taco bar hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Travel, parking and access
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Timings and hours
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us
- A menu agreed with you
- Menus for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Service planned around your numbers
- Allergen information for every dish

Taco bar hire in Burpham: local tips
Burpham is about 1 mile north-east of Guildford, in Surrey. For an event in Burpham, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. We cover all 395 towns and villages across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages.
When the service is at a church such as Church of the Holy Spirit, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. For guests coming by train, London Road (Guildford) station is about 1.4 miles away. Venues in and around the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Burpham, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our food truck or trailer could go.
Wherever your event is in GU4 and GU1, we can bring taco bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on Clay Lane, Wells Road and London Road or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Merrow (1 mile south-east), Jacobs Well (1 mile north-west), Abbotswood (1 mile south-west), Guildford (1 mile south-west) and Bellfields (1 mile west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Woking (4 miles north), Camberley (10 miles north-west), Epsom (13 miles north-east), Farnham (11 miles west), Ewell (14 miles north-east) and Egham (12 miles north).

- Local schools include Burpham Foundation Primary School (under half a mile north-west) and St Peter's Catholic School (0.8 miles south-east)
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
- Give us separate numbers for children
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.
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 normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. From late May to late September, sunset in Burpham moves from about 8:55pm to 7:05pm. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Find out what power and water are available
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
