How our Mexican catering works in Buckland
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. It suits garden get-togethers and markets and community events, with quesadillas, tacos and loaded nachos.
In a hamlet or village like Buckland, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Planning a food truck in Buckland
Buckland is about 2 miles west of Reigate, in Surrey. From the centre of Buckland to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Buckland is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 14 miles away.
Before you pencil in Brockham Limeworks, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape about 3 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Buckland. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
Mexican catering in RH3 is planned around your venue and access and timings. From Old Road, Sandy Lane and Rectory Lane or anywhere nearby, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access. We also serve at events in Betchworth (1 mile west), Brockham (1 mile west), Box Hill (1 mile north-west), Strood Green (2 miles south-west) and Mogador (2 miles north-east).

How the day works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. Around midsummer it stays light in Buckland until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Common questions in Buckland
What’s the nearest station to Buckland for guests?
Guests can use Betchworth station, about 0.6 miles north-west of Buckland.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
Where the truck can go in Buckland
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
