How our Mexican catering works in East Horsley
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 works well for retirement and leaving parties and engagement and anniversary parties, serving tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.
For a place the size of East Horsley, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Let us know about the route to the house. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Why choose Mexican catering in East Horsley?
Platters dropped off in the morning are easy but forgettable. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- A menu agreed with you
- Quoted for your event

East Horsley: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in The Forest and the Highlands?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Is East Horsley close to London?
It’s about 21 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
What’s on the menu?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. A December event in East Horsley will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Give us a contact for the day
