Mexican party catering in Shortfield Common
Where the truck can go in Shortfield Common
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
About our Mexican party catering in Shortfield Common
A truck or trailer can often park on a drive or in a garden, as long as the ground is firm and level and the access is wide enough. Send us a photo if you’re unsure. It suits street and neighbourhood parties and graduation celebrations, serving quesadillas, guacamole and salsas and a build-your-own taco bar.
Near Shortfield Common, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access and soft ground, and we’ll plan around it. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Shortfield Common parties: what to know
Shortfield Common is about 2 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. Wherever your party is in the GU10 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. We cater in 395 places across Surrey. We cater right across the region, from Shortfield Common to Guildford (about 11 miles away).
Families celebrating a christening at a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin might carry on at a garden or hall where we can park up. Thinking of a party in Underdown nature reserve?

Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in.
