Mexican catering for Abinger Common events
Catering an event in Abinger Common
Abinger Common is about 4 miles south-west of Dorking, in Surrey. Whether your event is in the middle of Abinger Common or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover 395 places across Surrey. We cater right across the region, from Abinger Common to Guildford (about 8 miles away).
A school such as Belmont Prep School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Close to Abinger Common are historic houses such as Polesden Lacey (4.2 miles north). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape about 2 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Abinger Common. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.

Local streets include Glebe Lane, Leith Hill Road and Abinger Common Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Mexican catering in Abinger Common, from our truck or trailer
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It works well for office lunches and team days and birthday parties, with burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
In a rural place like Abinger Common, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

For event organisers in Abinger Common
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To make it work smoothly:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
FAQs for Abinger Common
What’s the nearest station to Abinger Common for guests?
Guests can use Gomshall station, about 2.4 miles north-west of Abinger Common.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you cover Abinger Common?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Abinger Common and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.

Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips piled with cheese, a filling, salsa, guacamole and toppings.

Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
- Parking and the route in
- What the venue already provides
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Your menu ideas
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many adults and children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Mexican catering or something else?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. 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.
Why us?
- A menu built around your guests
- We cover Abinger Common and the whole of Surrey
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

Step by step
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. In Abinger Common, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
How to prepare
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
