Planning a party in Merstham
Merstham is about 2 miles north of Redhill, in Surrey. For Mexican party catering in Merstham, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. 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. You can also see our page for London, about 16 miles away.
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Katharine, with a party at home or in a hall afterwards. Thinking of a party in Nutfield Marshes? A food truck in a public park usually needs permission from the landowner, so check first. For a party in the countryside, the Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 8 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in.
This part of Surrey takes in RH1. Local streets include London Road North, Shepherd's Hill and Church Hill; for a party at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Ask guests with serious allergies to talk to us first
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
- Ensure there is a vegan option
- Give separate numbers for children
If it rains, we can still serve from the truck or trailer, though guests will want cover to eat under.

Common questions in Merstham
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.
Is Merstham close to London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How is the food prepared?
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
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.
How it compares
DIY catering saves money but takes your time. With us, you get to enjoy it. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. A summer party in Merstham stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, 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.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm power, water and the way in.
- We serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We tidy up and leave you to enjoy the party.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
