Mexican catering near Abinger
Mexican catering in Abinger, served fresh
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. Popular choices include burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, and it is a good fit for big birthday celebrations and office lunches and team days.
In a small place like Abinger, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Planning an evening event in Abinger? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.

Abinger: venues, access and local tips
Abinger is about 4 miles south-west of Dorking, in Surrey. From the centre of Abinger to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Abinger is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. We cater right across the region, from Abinger to Guildford (8 miles away).
Historic houses near Abinger include Polesden Lacey (3.9 miles north-east) and Hatchlands Park (4.5 miles north-west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one. By rail: Gomshall station is about 1.7 miles away. Venues in and around the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 3 miles of Abinger, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.
Anywhere in RH5, we can bring Mexican catering to you. Streets in the area include Raikes Lane, Sutton Lane and Abinger Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.

Comparing your options
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different, yet it’s still food most guests know and like. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
