What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
London streets around Chipstead can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

Mexican catering in Chipstead, served fresh
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. We serve loaded nachos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for wedding breakfasts and evening food and christenings and family parties.
In Chipstead, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Tell us about the route in. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Close to Chipstead are historic houses such as Nonsuch Mansion (4.5 miles north-west) and Fitznells Manor (4.9 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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 be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the route in
- The menu you choose
- Food, drinks or both
- Staff for serving and the bar
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- What power and water the site has
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.

It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Which station is closest to Chipstead?

What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
