About our taco bar hire in Ockham
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving, and nobody waits long. Popular choices include burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits working lunches and marquee parties.
Somewhere as small as Ockham, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Taco bar hire or something else?
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

FAQs for Ockham
Could you serve our guests after a service at All Saints' Church?
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.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What if the weather’s bad?
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 many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
