Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:

- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The menu you choose

Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Mexican catering in Headley, served fresh
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. Popular choices include burrito bowls, tacos and loaded nachos, and it suits garden parties and leaving parties.
Somewhere as small as Headley, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Why choose Mexican catering in Headley?
Mexican street food suits almost any crowd: familiar, filling and easy to eat wherever guests are.
These are some of the occasions we serve in Headley and Surrey:
- Anniversaries and engagements
- Christenings and family parties
- Garden get-togethers
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
Thinking of an event in Nower Wood? Public parks generally need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first.

Popular choices
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese inside.
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adjust.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.

Headley: your questions answered
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
Is it possible to have you in Nower Wood?
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.
Can we add a bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We will check the licensing with you before the day.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What food do you serve?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. Take a look at the sample menu.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Headley? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In Headley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Tell us when you want service to start
