Mexican party catering near The Chart
How our Mexican party catering works in The Chart
Many gardens and drives can take a truck or trailer, if there is level, firm ground and a way in that’s wide enough. Send us a photo if you’re unsure. It works well for housewarmings and street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers, with quesadillas, guacamole and salsas and loaded nachos.
Near The Chart, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access and soft ground, and we will plan the set-up. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Step by step
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A party in The Chart in late May has daylight until about 8:50pm. Once dusk falls, some garden lighting by the truck makes ordering easier.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We check access and arrive before your guests.
- Food is served from the hatch or the taco bar.
- We clear our area when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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.
Why choose Mexican party catering in The Chart?

Planning a party in The Chart
The Chart is about 6 miles south-east of Caterham, in Surrey. Tell us where your party in The Chart will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up. The Chart is one of 395 places in Surrey where we can bring Mexican party catering. Our nearest city page is London, about 18 miles away.
Around The Chart, historic houses include Chartwell (1.9 miles east) and Quebec House (2 miles north-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. After a christening at a church like St Andrew's, a taco truck at home or at a hall is an easy way to feed family and friends.
Wherever your party is in RH8, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. That could mean a party at a home with a drive on Stoneleigh Road, St Andrews Way and Ridlands Lane.

About the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
Everything for tacos, laid out for guests to help themselves, so everyone builds their own.
Tacos
Street tacos are quick and easy to eat. You choose the fillings with us.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Count adults and children separately
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
Children love watching their food being made, and quesadillas are a safe bet.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff, and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.

The Chart questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Andrew's?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to The Chart for guests?
Hurst Green station, about 1.6 miles west of the centre.
Do you have vegan options?
We keep vegetarian and vegan fillings separate. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the party.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Most children enjoy it, particularly quesadillas. Tell us how many children and their ages.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.

Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
