Mexican catering in Chilworth, served fresh
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It suits retirement and leaving parties and garden parties, with quesadillas, tacos and loaded nachos.
Somewhere as small as Chilworth, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area, leaving the space as we found it.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Common questions in Chilworth
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Which station is closest to Chilworth?
Guests can use Chilworth station, which is right in Chilworth.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.

Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.

Planning a food truck in Chilworth
Chilworth is about 3 miles south-east of Guildford, in Surrey. Whether your event is in the middle of Chilworth or on the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover 395 places across Surrey.
Around Chilworth, historic houses include Chilworth Manor (under half a mile north) and Guildford Castle (2.1 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. Before you pencil in Shalford Mill, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. Venues in and around the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 3 miles of Chilworth, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.
Here we cover the GU4 postcode area. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Old Manor Gardens, Redwood Grove and Blacksmith Lane. Chilworth is on the A248, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer.

What’s on the menu
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A big flour tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings, or the same served in a bowl.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
The process
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. In Chilworth, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us what power and water the site has
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you’re ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
