Mexican party catering for Onslow Village events
Mexican party catering in Onslow Village, served fresh
Mexican party catering means no cooking for you and no formal dinner either. Our truck or trailer parks up and we serve hot food as the party goes on. On the menu are burritos, tacos and loaded nachos, and it suits garden parties and exam-results parties.
Parties around Onslow Village are often relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. A taco truck on the drive fits right in. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Hosting a taco party in Onslow Village
Onslow Village is about 2 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. Across the GU2 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. We cater in 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Parks such as Broadstreet typically need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often easier. Close to Onslow Village are historic houses such as Guildford Castle (1.3 miles east) and Loseley Park (1.3 miles south). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. For a party in the countryside, the Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 6 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in.
We cater parties across GU2 and GU3. That could mean a party at a home with a drive on Gill Avenue, Farnham Road and Orchard Road.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
