A wedding in a small place like Ranmore Common often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A truck or trailer works well there: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and a taco bar feels more relaxed. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we offer in Ranmore Common
- Catering across Surrey, including Ranmore Common

- A menu built around your guests

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A winter wedding in Ranmore Common gets dark early, at about 3:55pm in December, so the evening food will be served after dark. Festoon lights by the truck help guests see the menu.
- First, we check availability for your date.
- You pick the menu with us.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- We serve, then pack down.

Questions from Ranmore Common
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Barnabas: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Which station is closest to Ranmore Common?
Dorking West station, about 1.1 miles east of the centre.
Do you cover Ranmore Common?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Ranmore Common and the rest of Surrey. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
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.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
