Mexican street food in Ashtead, from our truck or trailer
Our food is easy to eat standing up or on the grass. Popular choices include burrito bowls, quesadillas and tacos, and it suits village fêtes and summer fairs and outdoor cinema and theatre nights.
A town like Ashtead has schools, churches, clubs and parks that run events through the year. A taco truck suits all of them. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Ashtead questions
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.
Do you come to school fairs around Ashtead?
Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Spacing from tents and other structures
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Evening events in Ashtead have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
