About our Mexican party catering in Shere
A Mexican party takes the food off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We park our food truck or trailer and serve hot food while your guests chat. It suits new-home celebrations and retirement and leaving parties, with loaded nachos, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar.
A country party near Shere is a good fit for street food: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Have a covered area ready in case of rain. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Planning a party in Shere
Shere is about 5 miles east of Guildford, in Surrey. For a party in Shere, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. We cover all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages.
Historic houses near Shere include Hatchlands Park (2.6 miles north) and Chilworth Manor (2.8 miles west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. If Colekitchen Down is on your list, ask the people who run it about vehicles and food sales before you send invitations. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about a mile of Shere, so a garden party here may come with a lovely view. Country lanes can be narrow, so tell us about the route in.
Anywhere in GU5, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Your party could be at a home on Lower Street, Orchard Road and Shere Lane or the roads around them. If your venue is just outside Shere, we also cover Gomshall (1 mile east), Albury Heath (1 mile south-west), Little London (1 mile south-west), Albury (1 mile west) and Abinger Hammer (1 mile east).

Shere: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Shere for guests?

Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
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. See our menu for ideas.
Is my garden suitable?
Often, yes, if there is level, firm ground and access wide and high enough for the truck or trailer. Send us a picture of the space.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
