Parkgate: venues, access and local tips
Parkgate is about 4 miles south-east of Dorking, in Surrey. From the centre of Parkgate to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover all 395 towns and villages across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Parkgate to Guildford (about 14 miles away).
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Holmwood station, about 2.1 miles west. Venues in and around the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Parkgate, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.
Here we cover the RH5 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. We can cater an event on streets such as Broad Lane, Mill Lane and Becket Wood. We also serve at events in Shellwood Cross (1 mile north), Newdigate (1 mile south-west), Cudworth (2 miles south), Nalderswood (2 miles north-east) and Norwood Hill (2 miles east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Guildford (14 miles west), Epsom (11 miles north), Horley (5 miles east), Redhill (6 miles north-east), Ewell (12 miles north) and Reigate (5 miles north-east).

Mexican catering in Parkgate, from our truck or trailer
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. It suits staff parties and office lunches and garden get-togethers, with burrito bowls, burritos and tacos.
Somewhere as small as Parkgate, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
How the day works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Winter evenings in Parkgate close in by about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us a contact for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you serve drinks as well?

We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Who books Mexican catering in Parkgate?
You don’t need a kitchen, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
Whatever you’re celebrating in Parkgate, our truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We can cater:
- Leaving parties
- Birthday parties
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Company summer parties
Before you pencil in Newdigate Brickworks, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- 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.

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

- Your choice of food and drinks
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
