Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Your menu ideas
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send a quick message through our quote form.
How our Mexican catering works in Dunsfold
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for fundraisers and school events and retirement and leaving parties.
Somewhere as small as Dunsfold, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Where the truck can go in Dunsfold
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer

A closer look at the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with warm tortillas to fill. Each guest makes tacos their way.

Crisp tortilla chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole, made for sharing.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Give us separate numbers for children
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so everything goes out hot.
Quesadillas go down well with children.
Planning a food truck in Dunsfold
Dunsfold is about 9 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. Anywhere in GU8, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. We cater in all 395 towns and villages across Surrey, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Dunsfold to Guildford (about 9 miles away).
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Mary and All Saints, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. If people are travelling in by rail, Witley station is about 3.8 miles away. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape about 8 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Dunsfold. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
We serve at events all over the GU8 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Binhams Meadow, Dunsfold Common Road and Nugent Close or the roads around them. For events just outside Dunsfold, we cover Loxhill (1 mile north), Hascombe (2 miles north), Alfold Crossways (2 miles south-east), Elmbridge Village (2 miles north-east) and Grafham (3 miles north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Guildford (9 miles north), Woking (14 miles north), Farnham (12 miles north-west), Dorking (13 miles north-east), Frimley (15 miles north-west) and Haslemere (7 miles west).
A little further out are Milford Hospital (4.3 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Lower Lake and Hydon's Ball.
- Local pubs include The Sun Inn Public House (under half a mile south)
Who books Mexican catering in Dunsfold?
There is no kitchen needed at the venue, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Garden get-togethers
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Family celebrations
- Leaving dos and retirement parties
Before you pencil in Fir Tree Copse, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.
