Gatton: venues, access and set-up
Gatton is about 2 miles north of Redhill, in Surrey. We bring taco bar hire to homes, gardens and venues in Gatton and the surrounding area. We serve in 395 places in Surrey, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Croydon, about 8 miles away.
Thinking of a taco bar in Nutfield Marshes? Catering in a public park generally needs the landowner’s permission, so check first. Guests arriving without a car will want to know that the nearest station is Merstham station, about 1 mile east. Gatton is within about 6 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
For taco bar hire in RH2 and RH1, we plan around your venue and the route in. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Rocky Lane and Gatton Bottom. For events just outside Gatton, we cover South Merstham (1 mile east), Holmethorpe (1 mile south-east), Merstham (1 mile north-east), Mugswell (1 mile north-west) and Redhill (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Epsom (7 miles north-west), Horley (6 miles south), Ewell (7 miles north-west), Walton-on-Thames (13 miles north-west), Caterham (4 miles north-east) and Dorking (7 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include East Surrey Hospital (3.1 miles south) and The Belfry (1.6 miles south). Open spaces near Gatton include Colley Hill and Mercers Lake.
- Nearby schools include East Surrey College (0.8 miles south-east) and St Bede's School (0.9 miles south)
Taco bar hire for your event in Gatton
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. Popular choices include slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it suits birthday parties and working lunches.
For a rural spot like Gatton, 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. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Taco bar hire or something else?

Your questions about taco bar hire in Gatton
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
How far is Gatton from London?
It is about 17 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
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.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue, and guests build their own plates.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
If the schedule slips, tell us and we will hold everything hot until you’re ready.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we will confirm what’s possible in your quote.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
- 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.
