How our taco bar hire works in Cobham
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. It works well for working lunches and retirement parties, serving guacamole, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In and around Cobham, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Where the truck can go in Cobham
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Cobham questions
Do you come to events in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
What space does a taco bar need?
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.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. We agree the timings with your venue.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What guest numbers do you cater for?

A build-your-own taco bar in Cobham
Cobham is about 6 miles west of Epsom, in Surrey. Anywhere in KT11, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. We cater in all 395 towns and villages across Surrey, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Woking, about 8 miles away.
Around Cobham, historic houses include The Homewood (1.2 miles north) and Byfleet Manor (2.9 miles west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off. Parks such as West End Common usually need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape about 7 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Cobham. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Taco bar hire or something else?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
