Catering an event in Hookwood
Hookwood is about 1 mile south-west of Horley, in Surrey. From the centre of Hookwood to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 18 miles away.
A school such as Manorfield Primary and Nursery School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. By rail: Horley station is about 1.2 miles away. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape about 8 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Hookwood. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
For Mexican catering in RH6, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. Streets in the area include Campbell Close, Mistley Gardens and Kennel Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Nearby, we also cater events in Horley (1 mile north-east), Fernhill (2 miles east), Tinsley Green (2 miles south-east), Langley Green (3 miles south) and Shipley Bridge (3 miles south-east).

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Why book with us
- A menu built around your guests
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Allergen information for everything we serve

DIY taco night or 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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
