How we price Mexican party catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the route in
- Whether you need disposables
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How many guests we’re serving
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The date and rough timings
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Make sure there’s a vegan option
- Ask guests with serious allergies to talk to us first
- Have bins ready
Kids enjoy queuing at the hatch, and quesadillas are a safe bet.
Burrito bowls for guests who skip tortillas.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. At midsummer, it’s light in Gatton until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- You get a menu and a quote.
- We check access and arrive before your guests.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own tacos.
- We clear our area when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning a party in Gatton
Gatton is about 2 miles north of Redhill, in Surrey. We serve at parties in homes, gardens and venues in Gatton and nearby villages. Gatton is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we can bring Mexican party catering. You can also see our page for London, about 17 miles away.
Parks such as Nutfield Marshes typically need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often easier. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St Andrew's Church, with a party at home or in a hall afterwards. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Gatton, so a garden party here may come with a lovely view. Country lanes can be narrow, so tell us about the route in.
Here we cover the RH2 and RH1 postcode area. Whether your party is on Rocky Lane and Gatton Bottom or anywhere nearby, we can bring Mexican party catering there, given access.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
FAQs for Gatton
How far is Gatton from London?
It’s about 17 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Nutfield Marshes?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Is my garden suitable?
That depends on the way in and the ground. Tell us about gates, slopes and soft lawns, and we’ll confirm.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
