FAQs for Caterham
Could you serve in Dollypers Hill?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Which station is closest to Caterham?
Guests can use Caterham station, about 0.7 miles south-east of Caterham.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
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.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
We run the station ourselves, so your hosts don’t need to. When service ends, we clear it away.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Taco bar hire in Caterham, served fresh
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily. Popular choices include warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings, and it suits staff parties and milestone birthdays.
In a town like Caterham, a taco bar can go in a hall, a marquee or a garden. It can sit beside our truck or, if the truck cannot get in, on its own near your guests. Either way, we need to unload close by. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Evenings in Caterham stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Comparing your options
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Events in Caterham and across Surrey

Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Working with your venue

- A picture of where we’d park
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
