Mexican catering for Pachesham Park events
About our Mexican catering in Pachesham Park
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 school fairs and fundraisers and weddings, day or evening, serving loaded nachos, burrito bowls and tacos.
Somewhere like Pachesham Park, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Tell us how many children are coming
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.
Comparing your options
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- A plan agreed before the day
- A menu agreed with you
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included
- Book food, drinks or both

Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Space for guests to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Around midsummer it stays light in Pachesham Park until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a suggested menu 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.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us when you want service to start

Mexican catering around Pachesham Park
Pachesham Park is about 2 miles north-west of Ashtead, in Surrey. Whether your event is in the middle of Pachesham Park or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price.

Around Pachesham Park, historic houses include The Homewood (3 miles north-west) and Fitznells Manor (4.3 miles north-east). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Therfield School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape about 5 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Pachesham Park. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.

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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
