Mexican catering for your event in Stanwell
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. We serve quesadillas, tacos and loaded nachos, and it suits garden get-togethers and staff parties and office lunches.
A place like Stanwell may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Planning a food truck in Stanwell
Stanwell is about 2 miles north of Ashford, in Surrey. Anywhere in TW19, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. Stanwell is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we can bring Mexican catering. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 15 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Stanwell Fields CofE Primary School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in.
We cater events across TW19 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include High Street, Britannia Way and Frobisher Gardens, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Stanwell: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What’s the nearest station to Stanwell for guests?
The closest is Ashford Surrey station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What if it rains?
We can still serve in the rain. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Count children separately
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- What the venue already provides
- Serving staff
- The menu you choose
- Food, drinks or both
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- What you’d like on the menu
- A picture of where we’d park
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The address or venue name
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you are ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
