Mexican catering or something else?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

How our Mexican catering works in Godstone
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar. It suits weddings and evening receptions and leaving parties, serving burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos.
In a rural place like Godstone, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Planning a food truck in Godstone
Godstone is about 3 miles south of Caterham, in Surrey. Give us the address of your event in Godstone, and we will plan access and set-up. Godstone is one of 395 places in Surrey where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Godstone to London (17 miles away).
A gathering in Bay Pond would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Godstone Village School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in.

For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.

Godstone: your questions answered
Do you cater in villages like Godstone?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Bay Pond?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you do a drinks bar?
We can. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
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.
Can you set up at our venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll confirm what we need. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Where the truck can go in Godstone
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Space for guests to queue
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Evenings in Godstone stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Ask the venue about power and water
