Mexican party catering near Dorking
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. A summer party in Dorking stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- You get a sample menu and a quote for your party.
- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
How to get a price
Send us the date, your venue or RH4 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just use our quote form.

How our Mexican party catering works in Dorking
The menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus vegan options such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. It works well for anniversaries and engagement parties and summer garden parties, serving loaded nachos, guacamole and salsas and quesadillas.
In Dorking, home and the local hall are popular party venues. A truck or trailer can work at both, as long as we can drive in and park on level ground. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Dorking questions
Do you come to events 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.
What’s the nearest station to Dorking for guests?
Dorking Deepdene station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Vegetarian and vegan fillings are cooked and served separately, and every dish is labelled. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the party.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What will our party cost?
We quote for each party, based on numbers, the menu and the location. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
