Mexican street food near Capel
Capel: your questions answered
How far is Capel from London?
About 26 miles from central London, and well within our area.
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.
Do you come to Capel?
We do. Capel is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What does Mexican street food cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll let you know if we are available.

For a village fête or field event near Capel, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
We arrive in the agreed set-up window.

How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. For an evening event in Capel, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; beyond that, ask the organiser how the site will be lit.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day

Fairs, fêtes and events in Capel
Capel is about 5 miles south of Dorking, in Surrey. From the centre of Capel to the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Capel is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we can bring Mexican street food. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Capel to Guildford (about 13 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Scott Broadwood CofE Infant School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Visitors arriving by train will find that the nearest station is Ockley station, about 0.6 miles west.

We cater events across RH5 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include The Street, Laundry Way and Bakers Way, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

What Mexican street food costs

- What’s on the menu

What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your date and when you want service to start

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Comparing your options
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free visitors. Our menu includes vegan and gluten-free options. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
