Mexican catering for Compton events
Your questions about Mexican catering in Compton
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Marys Parish Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Mexican catering in Compton, served fresh
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. Popular choices include loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas, and it suits garden get-togethers and weddings, day or evening.
In a small place like Compton, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.

Planning the serving area
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
The menu, item by item
Loaded nachos
Crisp tortilla chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole, made for sharing.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or the same served in a bowl.
Catering an event in Compton
Compton is about 1 mile east of Farnham, in Surrey. Across the GU10 area, we will come to your venue or site. Compton is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 9 miles away.
Thinking of an event in Moor Park? Public parks normally need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. Guests arriving by train will find that Farnham station is about 1.3 miles away. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape about 7 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Compton. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
We cover events in every part of the GU10 and GU9 postcode area. Streets in the area include Moor Park Lane, Compton Way and Moor Park Way, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. For events just outside Compton, we cover Runfold (1 mile east), The Sands (1 mile east), Badshot Lea (1 mile north), Farnham (1 mile west) and Sandy Cross (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (9 miles east), Woking (11 miles north-east), Camberley (9 miles north), Frimley (7 miles north), Haslemere (9 miles south) and Cranleigh (13 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Farnham Castle (1.8 miles west) and Seale and Tongham (1.8 miles east). Not far away are Runfold Wood and Culverswell Hill.
- Pubs nearby include Shepherd & Flock pub (0.9 miles north-west)
How it compares
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
