Mexican catering for your event in Shackleford
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. On the menu are burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas, and it suits garden parties and company summer parties.
Somewhere as small as Shackleford, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Why choose Mexican catering in Shackleford?
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Why book with us
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Service planned around your numbers

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Give us separate numbers for children
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.

- Travel, parking and access

- What’s on the menu
- How many guests we are serving
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Shackleford

Guests can use Godalming station, about 2.2 miles south-east of Shackleford.

We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.

The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
What if it rains?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.

Taco catering in Shackleford: local tips
Shackleford is about 5 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. Tell us where your event in Shackleford will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. We serve in all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Close to Shackleford are historic houses such as Wanborough Manor (2.1 miles north) and Loseley Park (2.7 miles east). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one. If people are travelling in by rail, Godalming station is about 2.2 miles away. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape about 7 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Shackleford. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
We cater events across GU8 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include The Street, Lombard Street and Chalk Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. If your venue is just outside Shackleford, we also cover Hurtmore (1 mile east), Puttenham (2 miles north), Compton (2 miles north-east), Wanborough (2 miles north) and Binscombe (2 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (5 miles north-east), Woking (9 miles north-east), Camberley (10 miles north), Farnham (6 miles west), Dorking (15 miles east) and Frimley (8 miles north).

- Local schools include Prior's Field School (0.8 miles north-east)
- Other local spots include Seale and Tongham (3 miles north-west)
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
