About our taco bar hire in Dockenfield
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. Popular choices include fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for wedding day food and engagement parties.
Near Dockenfield, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
A build-your-own taco bar in Dockenfield
Dockenfield is about 4 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. From the centre of Dockenfield to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Dockenfield is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we can bring taco bar hire. We cater right across the region, from Dockenfield to Guildford (12 miles away).
Historic houses near Dockenfield include Farnham Castle (4.1 miles north). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking. By rail: Bentley (Hampshire) station is about 2.4 miles away. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Dockenfield, 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.
This part of Surrey takes in GU10, so your event can be anywhere in it. From The Street and Lake Lane or anywhere nearby, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access.

How we price taco bar hire
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
- How many staff you need
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your menu ideas

- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just use our quote form.
How it compares
A standard buffet often sits out cold. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Common questions in Dockenfield
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Is Dockenfield close to London?
It is about 39 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
What does a taco bar cost?
We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What does taco bar hire cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. A December taco bar in Dockenfield will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Count children separately
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Choose at least one vegan filling
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- Details of power and water near the bar
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
