Mexican catering in Bishopsgate, served fresh
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. It works well for big birthday celebrations and family celebrations, with fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a small place like Bishopsgate, events are normally 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 plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Planning a food truck in Bishopsgate
Bishopsgate is about 2 miles north-west of Egham, in Surrey. From the centre of Bishopsgate to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover all 395 towns and villages in Surrey. We cater right across the region, from Bishopsgate to Guildford (13 miles away).
Close to Bishopsgate are historic houses such as Frogmore House (2.5 miles north) and Windsor Castle (3.2 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. For a fête or sports day at a school such as St John's Beaumont School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.
Anywhere in TW20, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Local streets include Bishopsgate Road, Ridgemead Road and Wick Lane; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. We also serve at events in Englefield Green (1 mile south-east), Egham Wick (1 mile south), Old Windsor (1 mile north), Wraysbury (2 miles north-east) and Egham (2 miles south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Guildford (13 miles south), Woking (9 miles south), Camberley (10 miles south-west), Epsom (15 miles south-east), Ewell (15 miles south-east) and Walton-on-Thames (9 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Berkshire Yeomanry Museum (2.4 miles north-west) and Windsor Castle (3.2 miles north). Not far away are St Ann's Hill and Virginia Water Lake.
- Local schools include Englefield Green Infant School and Nurseries (0.8 miles south-east)

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so everything goes out hot.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
