What Mexican party catering costs

About our Mexican party catering in Shellwood Cross
Mixed ages and mixed diets are easy. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and quesadillas go down well with children. On the menu are burritos, tacos and loaded nachos, and it is a good fit for housewarmings and engagement and anniversary parties.
Country parties near Shellwood Cross suit a food truck or trailer: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- A quick photo of the access helps us plan
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
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, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Questions from Shellwood Cross
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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 it possible to have you in Newdigate Brickworks?
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 will send what they need from us.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Do you cater in Shellwood Cross?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Shellwood Cross and across Surrey. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Yes, if there’s space outside for the truck or trailer and the venue agrees. Ask the venue about food trucks.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
