Taco bar hire for your event in Westcott
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. On the menu are slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas, which works well for working lunches and evening receptions.
Near Westcott, 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 truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

Occasions we cater for in Westcott
It gets people talking: people chat about salsas and fillings while they build.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Milestone birthdays
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Marquee parties
- Office lunches
Close to Westcott are historic houses such as Polesden Lacey (2.2 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.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

Westcott: venues, access and set-up
Westcott is about 2 miles west of Dorking, in Surrey. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Westcott and nearby villages. Westcott is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Westcott to Guildford (about 9 miles away).
After a christening or wedding at a church such as St John's Community Hall, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. Guests arriving without a car will want to know that the nearest station is Dorking West station, about 1.4 miles north-east. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Westcott, 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.
This part of Surrey takes in RH4. Your event could be at a home on Guildford Road, Chapel Lane and Stones Lane or the roads around them. If your venue is just outside Westcott, we also cover Ranmore Common (1 mile north), Wotton (1 mile south-west), Dorking (2 miles east), North Holmwood (2 miles south-east) and Mid Holmwood (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cater in Guildford (9 miles west), Woking (11 miles north-west), Epsom (9 miles north-east), Horley (9 miles east), Redhill (9 miles east) and Ewell (10 miles north-east).

Westcott questions
Is it possible to have you in Milton Heath and The Nower?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What affects the price in Westcott
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Food, drinks or both
- What’s on the menu
- Guest numbers
- Travel, parking and access
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
