Planning a food truck in Norwood Hill
Norwood Hill is about 2 miles west of Horley, in Surrey. Whether your event is in the middle of Norwood Hill or on the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Norwood Hill is one of 395 places in Surrey where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Norwood Hill to Guildford (16 miles away).
A gathering in Edolph's Copse would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Venues in and around the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 7 miles of Norwood Hill, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.
Mexican catering in RH6 is planned around your venue and access and timings.

Mexican catering for your event in Norwood Hill
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for summer garden parties and school fairs and fundraisers, with burrito bowls, quesadillas and loaded nachos.
In a rural place like Norwood Hill, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. Daylight in Norwood Hill runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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, and handles allergen information for you.
How we price Mexican catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- What’s on the menu
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need disposables
- Guest numbers
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Give us separate numbers for children
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.

Norwood Hill questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you serve in Edolph's Copse?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What does Mexican catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
