How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. Around midsummer it stays light in Compton until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want service to start

Mexican catering for your event in Compton
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. No kitchen is needed on site. We serve tacos, burritos and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for fairs and festivals and engagement celebrations.
Somewhere like Compton, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
How it compares
If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.

Catering an event in Compton
Compton is about 3 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. Wherever your event is in the GU3 area, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. We cater in all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages.
If people are travelling in by rail, Farncombe station is about 1.6 miles away. A gathering in Pucks Oak Barn and McAlmont Reserves would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape about 8 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.
This part of Surrey takes in GU3, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. From The Street, Spiceall and Almsgate or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Food, drinks or both
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Staff for serving and the bar
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and rough timings
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- What power and water the site has
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
