Gatton: venues, access and local tips
Gatton is about 2 miles north of Redhill, in Surrey. For an event in Gatton, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. Gatton is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. We cater right across the region, from Gatton to London (17 miles away).
A gathering in Nutfield Marshes would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Guests leaving a church like St Andrew's Church after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Gatton, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours.
We cover events in every part of the RH2 and RH1 postcode area. Streets in the area include Rocky Lane and Gatton Bottom, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater events include South Merstham (1 mile east), Holmethorpe (1 mile south-east), Merstham (1 mile north-east), Mugswell (1 mile north-west) and Redhill (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Epsom (7 miles north-west), Horley (6 miles south), Ewell (7 miles north-west), Walton-on-Thames (13 miles north-west), Caterham (4 miles north-east) and Dorking (7 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include East Surrey Hospital (3.1 miles south) and The Belfry (1.6 miles south). Not far away are Colley Hill and Mercers Lake.
- Local schools include East Surrey College (0.8 miles south-east) and St Bede's School (0.9 miles south)
Mexican catering in Gatton, served fresh
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 school fairs and fundraisers and weddings and evening receptions, with a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and tacos.
Somewhere like Gatton, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Why choose Mexican catering in Gatton?
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different, while still being easy food most people enjoy. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Common questions in Gatton
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Andrew's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, 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.
Do you come to Gatton?
We do. We serve at events in Gatton and across Surrey. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you serve in the rain?
Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Organising a club, school or community event in Gatton? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
