Mexican catering for your event in Stroud Common
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It suits garden parties and markets and community events, serving a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and quesadillas.
Somewhere like Stroud Common, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Catering an event in Stroud Common

We cater in all 395 towns and villages across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 6 miles away.
A school such as Wonersh and Shamley Green CofE Aided Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Before you pencil in Cucknell's Wood, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape about 4 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Stroud Common. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.

Stroud Common questions
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Will you travel to a small place like Stroud Common?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.

The process
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. A December event in Stroud Common will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
