Mexican catering in South Earlswood, from our food truck or trailer
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. At weddings and evening receptions and garden parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and burritos and more.
In a small place like South Earlswood, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Who books Mexican catering in South Earlswood?
Food is cooked to order and served hot, instead of waiting on a buffet.
These are some of the occasions we serve in South Earlswood and Surrey:
- Anniversaries and engagements
- Markets and community events
- Summer garden parties
- Fundraisers and school events
A gathering in Earlswood Common would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early.
Before you book anyone
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
- What happens if it rains
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
South Earlswood questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Earlswood Common?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you serve drinks as well?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we’ll check that with you.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
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.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Around midsummer it stays light in South Earlswood until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- 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 food truck or trailer.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.

Other catering in South Earlswood
Can I do a taco night 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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
