A closer look at the menu
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese inside, cut into wedges.
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.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Around midsummer it stays light in Hammer until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Planning a food truck in Hammer
Hammer is about 9 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. From the centre of Hammer to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We serve in all 395 towns and villages in Surrey. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Hammer to Guildford (14 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as St. Stephen's Church, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Woolmer Hill School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape about 3 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Hammer. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
We cover events in every part of GU27. Whether your event is on Hammer Lane, Moor Road and Copse Road or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access. For events just outside Hammer, we cover Woolmer Hill (1 mile south), Hammer Bottom (1 mile west), Shottermill (1 mile east), Bramshott Chase (1 mile north) and Linchmere (1 mile south-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Guildford (14 miles north-east), Farnham (9 miles north), Cranleigh (12 miles east), Ash (11 miles north), Godalming (9 miles north-east) and Farncombe (10 miles north-east).

- Nearby schools include Camelsdale Primary School (0.7 miles east)
- Pubs nearby include The Prince of Wales pub (within half a mile west)
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
