Questions from Charlwood
Do you cater in villages like Charlwood?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
What should the venue provide?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Taco bar hire in Charlwood, from our food truck or trailer
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. It suits birthday celebrations and garden parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings.
For a rural spot like Charlwood, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning a taco bar in Charlwood
Charlwood is about 3 miles south-west of Horley, in Surrey. From the centre of Charlwood to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cater in 395 places across Surrey, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Parks such as Edolph's Copse typically need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. Guests leaving a church like Church of St Nicholas could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. Venues in and around the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 7 miles of Charlwood, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.
Anywhere in RH6, we can bring taco bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on The Street, Yew Tree Road and Rectory Lane or a nearby road, we will plan where to park and serve. If your venue is just outside Charlwood, we also cover Russ Hill (1 mile south-west), Norwood Hill (2 miles north), Cudworth (2 miles west), Ifieldwood (2 miles south) and Ifield (2 miles south). We also cater in nearby towns such as Epsom (13 miles north), Horley (3 miles north-east), Redhill (6 miles north-east), Ewell (14 miles north), Reigate (6 miles north) and Caterham (11 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Crawley Museum (3.1 miles south-east) and County Mall (3.4 miles south-east). The countryside around Charlwood includes Tilgate Lake.
- Local pubs include The Half Moon pub (within half a mile north-west)
About the menu
Toppings
Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches so there is always one ready. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Why choose taco bar hire in Charlwood?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

Read how we price and what Mexican catering costs.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Check where our vehicle can unload
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions about fillings and allergens.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
