Planning a party in Shalford
Shalford is about 2 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. Tell us where your party in Shalford will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up. Shalford is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover.
Parks such as Shalford Mill usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often easier. After a christening at a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin, a taco truck at home or at a hall is an easy way to feed family and friends. For a party in the countryside, the Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 5 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in.
Mexican party catering in GU4 is planned around your venue and access. Streets in the area include Station Road, The Street and Kings Road, and a party on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Close by, we cover parties in Broadford (1 mile west), East Shalford (1 mile north-east), Peasmarsh (1 mile south-west), Artington (1 mile north-west) and Chilworth (1 mile east). Further out, we also cater in Woking (7 miles north), Camberley (11 miles north-west), Epsom (15 miles north-east), Farnham (10 miles west), Egham (15 miles north) and Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-east).

About the menu
Burritos
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla.
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips with cheese, salsa, guacamole and toppings.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
Shalford questions
Which station should guests use for Shalford?
Guests can use Shalford station, which is right in Shalford.
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.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
We keep vegetarian and vegan fillings separate. Ask anyone with a severe allergy to speak to us first.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Count adults and children separately
- Plan somewhere for guests to sit and eat
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
If it rains, we can still serve from the truck or trailer, but plan a gazebo or indoor space for eating.
Quesadillas for younger guests.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A summer party in Shalford 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.
