About our Mexican street food in Compton
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. It works well for country shows and feeding crew and volunteers, serving burrito bowls, tacos and burritos.
At a fête or field event near Compton, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Compton questions
Which station is closest to Compton?
Guests can use Farnham station, about 1.3 miles west of Compton.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Moor Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Tell us what the event needs and we’ll send the paperwork your event asks for.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
That depends on licensing. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we will go from there.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Book crew catering in advance
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Plan seating near the food area
Orders are served throughout the event, made to order.
Loaded nachos for sharing.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Some street food is slow to serve one order at a time. With fillings prepared ahead, service is fast. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- Served fresh from our food truck or trailer
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Quoted for your event
- A menu agreed with you

Fairs, fêtes and events in Compton
Compton is about 1 mile east of Farnham, in Surrey. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Compton and nearby villages. We cater in all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Compton to Guildford (9 miles away).
Rail travel is an option for visitors, as the nearest station is Farnham station, about 1.3 miles west. Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as South Farnham School, a busy corner. Events in and around the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 7 miles of Compton, often have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.
For Mexican street food in GU10 and GU9, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. Streets in the area include Moor Park Lane, Compton Way and Moor Park Way, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue

Can I do a taco night myself?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A December market in Compton loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Tell us when you want service to start
