About our Mexican catering in Merstham
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You do not need a kitchen at the venue. It works well for milestone birthdays and leaving parties, serving a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and burrito bowls.
In a hamlet or village like Merstham, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Planning a food truck in Merstham
Merstham is about 2 miles north of Redhill, in Surrey. For Mexican catering in Merstham, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. We serve in all 395 towns and villages across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Merstham to London (about 16 miles away).
For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Katharine, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Merstham Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Venues in and around the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 8 miles of Merstham, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.
For Mexican catering in RH1, we plan around your venue and the route in. We can cater an event on streets such as London Road North, Shepherd's Hill and Church Hill. We also serve at events in South Merstham (1 mile south), Gatton (1 mile south-west), Holmethorpe (1 mile south), Hooley (2 miles north) and Netherne on-the-Hill (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Epsom (7 miles north-west), Horley (6 miles south), Ewell (7 miles north-west), Reigate (3 miles south-west), Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-west) and Caterham (3 miles north-east).

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Events we cater in Merstham
A food truck gives guests somewhere to gather, and people drift over as soon as service starts.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Retirement and leaving parties
- Big birthday celebrations
- Fairs and festivals
- Christenings and family parties
A gathering in Nutfield Marshes would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early.

Questions from Merstham
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 Nutfield Marshes?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We park our truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Do you do a drinks bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

Organising for someone else?
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
With a barbecue, someone usually ends up stuck at the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our food truck or trailer, so you can enjoy your event. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
